About This Report

The report provides an overview of recent private sector fuel cell installations at US businesses as of

December 31 2016 Based on the success of early stage research and development (RampD) activities

under US Department of Energy (DOE) programs including those at national laboratories monitoring

early private sector fuel cell installations can provide valuable feedback to guide further RampD activities

Over the past few decades hundreds of thousands of fuel cells have been installed around the world

for primary or backup power as well as in various other applications including portable and emergency

backup power Fuel cells have also been deployed in other applications such as heat and electricity for

homes and apartments material handling passenger vehicles buses and remote off‐grid sites This list

is by no means exhaustive

Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) has supported the DOEs Fuel Cell Technologies Office (FCTO) in

hydrogen and fuel cell technology evaluation and analysis for over two decades and has worked with the

national trade association and fuel cell stakeholders for expertise in fuel cell technology The

information on applications and installations contained in this report was gathered from public sources

and through personal contact with fuel cell manufacturers customers and organizations

Fuel Cells Deliver Powerful Benefits

The business case for fuel cells is growing

With the industry rapidly emerging as a Highlights since last report multibillion dollar market opportunity the

United States is staking a leadership role in Home Depot now countryrsquos largest stationary technology development manufacturing fuel cell customer with more than 140 sites and economic impact A main reason for IKEA installing fuel cells at 4 more stores in this success is the increasing investment by California and one in Connecticut the private sector and business community eBay adding 375 MW to its Utah data center

bringing it to ~10 MW While the government primarily through More than 15000 fuel cell‐forklifts in operation the US Department of Energy has focused or on order on early stage research and development

industry has been successfully commercializing and deploying cutting edge technologies in fuel cells and

hydrogen that are now demonstrating tangible benefits

Today fuel cells are utilizing domestically produced natural gas to power to retail stores data centers

production sites and other company facilities greatly reducing emissions and doing so at a cost that can

be competitive with the local electric grid in some states1 2 By producing power onsite facilities can

continue their essential operations even when grid power goes down

Fuel cells are also competing in the material handling market with companies finding value in improved

operational efficiency and cost savings using fuel cells in forklifts and other vehicles over battery units ndash

About Fuel Cells

A fuel cell generates electricity using an electrochemical reaction not combustion and depending on the fuel source produces zero or near‐zero polluting emissions Fuel cells offer a unique combination of proven benefits that make them ideally suited for a number of applications

Benefits for Stationary Applications Benefits for Material Handling Equipment

Can be primary or backup power source Zero emissions

Operate in tandem or independent of electric Long runtime

grid Minutes to refuel

High efficiency Constant power (no voltage sag)

Low to zero emissions Cold storage operation

Fuel flexible (conventional or renewable Eliminates need for battery charging room fuels) Increased worker productivity

Rugged and quiet Lower operational costs Operate in water balance

Modular and scalable

1

eliminating the need for and space dedicated to battery charging and swapping Fuel cells also allow

for quicker refueling which saves time and full‐power operation throughout the shift without any

voltage sag or challenges when operating in refrigerated warehouse environments

In addition telecommunications companies worldwide are turning to fuel cells to provide reliable

primary or backup power and longer run times while simultaneously benefitting from lower emissions

The reliability of fuel cells and freedom from the need for daily refueling at remote locations makes this

a competitive technology in this application

There are many reasons why companies choose fuel cells for stationary and motive power applications

The long list of benefits are outlined above and discussed at length in previous editions of this report

continue to make this technology an attractive option for new customers as well as for companies

choosing to expand their portfolio to dozens hundreds and even thousands of fuel cells Fuel cells

enable customers to attain not only environmental benefits but also economic operational and other

savings as well

Corporate Commitments

Corporate environmental goals are not just internalized within company walls Many corporations are

joining collaborative initiatives to publicly hold themselves more accountable These include the Science

Based Targets Initiative3 where companies pledge to adopt targets in line with the science on how to

keep global warming below two degrees There are now more than 170 corporations committed

including fuel cell users Coca‐Cola Procter amp Gamble Walmart Kellogg Company Pfizer and Carrefour

as well as automotive companies BMW Honda Daimler Toyota and Nissan most of which have fuel

cell forklifts deployed at manufacturing facilities and all developing fuel cell light duty vehicles

Another global initiative the Climate Grouprsquos RE1004 includes influential businesses committed to

transitioning to 100 renewable electricity including biomass and biogas geothermal solar water and

wind ndash either sourced from the market or self‐produced The 100 renewable energy goal can be

achieved by producing power either on or off‐site at its facilities or from procuring power via contracts

with utilities Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) or renewable electricity certificates

Many of the companies involved in RE100 operate fuel cells including ones fueled by biogas in some

capacity including IKEA Adobe Apple Bank of America Equinix Google Johnson amp Johnson Coca‐

Cola BMW GM Procter amp Gamble Walmart as well as international users La Poste Marks amp Spencer

Colruyt Group and Tata Motors

The Climate Group estimates that when all of its participating companies are operating with 100

renewable energy they will create demand for 901 terrawatt hours of renewable electricity saving

around 56 mega‐tonnes of CO2 annually

2

There is also the Renewable Energy Buyers Alliance (REBA)5 formed by four non‐governmental

organizations to empower multinational companies to deploy renewable energy in the United States

with the goal of 60 gigawatts by 2025 REBA includes fuel cell users Adobe BD eBay Equinix FedEx

GM Honda IBM Johnson amp Johnson Kaiser Permanente Marriott Microsoft Owens Corning Sprint

Time Warner Cable Whole Foods and Yahoo

According to the Business Council for Sustainable Energyrsquos 2016 Sustainable Energy in America

Factbook6 corporations including fuel cell users Walmart Johnson amp Johnson Google and others have

doubled their investment in cleaner energy over the past two consecutive years

The list of customers continues to grow and since the last Business Case report there have been some

real standouts in the corporate world becoming champion fuel cell advocates by purchasing installing

and deploying fuel cells in different applications at multiple facilities around the country

The Home Depot

Since our last report The Home Depot has emerged as the leading corporate customer of stationary fuel

cells installing 200‐kilowatt (kW) systems at stores in California Connecticut and New York The Home

Depot began installing fuel cells in 2014 and by late

2016 is using fuel cells to generate power at 140 of its

US retail locations7

Although the Home Depot has already deployed about

28 megawatts (MW) of fuel cell power generation it

isnrsquot done yet ndash the company intends to add fuel cells to

more stores for a total of 170 retail sites operating fuel

cell for power generation8

The Home Depot reports that the fuel cells provide

electricity at a lower cost than the electric grid and

when stores have low power needs it can send energy back to the grid9

Carol Tome The Home Depotrsquos Chief Financial Officer said ldquoWe look at the value of fuel cells in two

ways First productivity ndash where we have the fuel cells installed we see that our electricity costs are

15 to 20 percent less than they would be if we bought off the grid so thatrsquos a good thing And then

sustainability because the fuel cells take natural gas and convert it to electricity without combustion

we see lower levels of carbon dioxide emissions In fact since 2014 our carbon dioxide emissionshave

been reduced by 50 million pounds Thatrsquos equivalent to removing 4800 cars off the roads and wersquore

thrilledrdquo10

3

Other benefits include huge water savings ndash each 200 kW fuel cell system saves 31 million gallons of

water annually

Craig DrsquoArcy the Home Depotrsquos director of Energy Management stated ldquoPerhaps the biggest driver that

made fuel cells the right fit for the stores wersquove done so far is that they eliminate the concern over aging

roofs A solar install requires that the roof stay in place for at least 15 years otherwise you significantly

erode the financial benefit by incurring costs to remove and reinstall the solar system after the roof has

been replacedrdquo11

The Home Depot is also investing in fuel cells for material handling In the last report we detailed the

Troy Township Ohio location where the company deployed more than 175 fuel cell‐powered forklifts

are operating in its new 16 million‐sq‐ft distribution center The Home Depot is now set to introduce

another fleet of fuel cell forklifts at a Savannah Georgia distribution center12

IKEA

Swedish furniture retailer IKEA expanded its fuel cell investment in 2016 by announcing it is adding fuel

cells at four more California stores (see chart next page) and one in New Haven Connecticut This will

bring IKEArsquos total fuel cell fleet including the 300‐kW fuel cell installed in 2015 at its Emeryville

California store to more than 15 MW of power

4

Christof Stein IKEArsquos New Haven store manager says that

ldquosimilar to our rooftop solar array this fuel cell system will

greatly reduce our carbon footprint and the storersquos reliance

on the power grid as well as contribute to our vision of

creating a better everyday life for the manyrdquo13

IKEArsquos history with fuel cells goes back even further more

than a decade when the company partnered with Opel a

subsidiary of General Motors to demonstrate the Open

Zafira fuel cell vehicle in Berlin Germany in 2005 In 2010

IKEA tested the fourth generation of the Zafira One of IKEArsquos Bloom Energy fuel cell systems at

California store

And in 2014 IKEA deployed a fleet of 20 forklift trucks at its distribution center in Saint‐Quentin‐

Fallavier France The site also features a hydrogen station from Air Liquide to refuel the forklifts

IKEA US President Lars Petersson also says that ldquofuel cells represent another way we can contribute to

our goal of generating renewable energy equal to the amount of power we consume worldwiderdquo14

Walmart

stores This builds on Walmartrsquos 2015 fuel cell installations which include a total 1 MW of fuel cell

Bloom Energy fuel cell server at a Walmart retail site

Walmart has a goal to be supplied 100 by

renewable energy The companyrsquos efforts to

meet this goal include the use of fuel cells both

for onsite power generation and power for

forklifts operating in the companyrsquos distribution

centers

In 2016 alone Walmart installed 48 MW of

Bloom Energy fuel cells to provide onsite power

generation at seventeen of its California retail

power generation in California (five retail stores) 400 kW in Connecticut (two retail stores) and a

250‐kW fuel cell system supplying power at a New Jersey store

In total Walmart has installed fuel cells at more than 60 of its retail sites in California Connecticut and

New Jersey to provide 40‐60 of the electricity needed by these facilities16 17 When grid power goes

down these fuel cells are capable of supplying power to keep a storersquos

refrigeration equipment lighting and cash registers in operation preventing

food spoilage and allowing a store to continue serving customers during

weather‐related and other outages18 Walmart also reports that its fuel cells

supply energy at prices lower than the cost of energy from local utilities19

Walmart also uses Plug Power GenDrive fuel cells to power to forklifts at

19 of its North American distribution centers including locations in Illinois

Indiana Minnesota New York Ohio Pennsylvania Texas and in Alberta and

Ontario Canada In aggregate the company operates more than 3000 fuel

cell‐powered forklifts at its sites along with the hydrogen fueling

infrastructure to support these deployments

Walmart states in its 2016 Global Sustainability Report that it is committed to

expanding its development of off‐ and onsite power from fuel cells solar wind and other technologies

in an effort to meet its goal of procuring 7 billion kWh of renewable energy generation by the end of

202020

Stop amp Shop

Northeast grocery chain Stop amp Shop and its parent company Ahold already uses fuel cells at three of

its grocery stores to generate power onsite two in New York ndash Peekskill (200‐kW Bloom Energy Server

installed in 2015) and Mt Vernon (250‐kW Bloom Energy Server installed in 2014) and a store in

Torrington Connecticut (400‐kW Doosan Fuel Cell America system installed in 2011)

The company also operates gas stations at several of its retail sites and has agreed to host a hydrogen

refueling pump at its Mansfield Massachusetts grocery store The proposed hydrogen station is one of

12 hydrogen stations in development by Toyota and Air Liquide to support the expansion of fuel cell

vehicles into the northeast US and recently received permit approval by the townrsquos zoning board21

The hydrogen supplied by Air Liquide will be produced off‐site and delivered to the station which is

anticipated to be operable in 201722

Retail Shopping

Retail chains are taking advantage of fuel cells for power for their stores and material handling

equipment (MHE) in their warehouses Two of the leading fuel cell customers Home Depot and

Walmart have more than 200 stores and 3500 forklifts utilizing fuel cells collectively

Onsite fuel cells can provide primary power backup power and combined heat and power (CHP) to retail

sites and warehouses Since the systems can operate independently from the power grid they can

supply power without disruption due to grid failure or blackouts The fuel cellrsquos excess heat can also be

captured to provide hot water or space heating increasing the fuel cellrsquos efficiency

The benefits of converting material handling fleets to fuel cells are many outlined in the introduction as

well as in previous reports For the retail sector the main advantage of using fuel cells for MHE could

arguably be the elimination of battery storage changing and charging areas allowing that space to be

regained and utilized to hold more products

Grocers Food amp Logistics

From supermarkets to the companies that provide the goods to stock them fuel cells are becoming a

lsquogreenlightrsquo special in the grocery food and beverage industry

Fuel cells can provide uninterrupted power even when the grid is down while helping grocery stores

and food packaging facilities reduce overall emissions The heat fuel cells generate as a byproduct can

be used for space heating hot water or run through an absorption chiller for air conditioning or

refrigeration providing increased efficiency for stores that have to keep food cold or fresh

Fuel cell‐powered forklifts are currently in operation at logistics facilities distribution centers and

grocery warehouses around the country replacing incumbent battery‐powered and combustion vehicles

due to their advantages of longer runtime faster refueling higher efficiency and constant power

especially in freezers and cold storage facilites

global transactions They are also installing fuel cells at headquarters to keep daily operations running

smoothly while reducing emissions

Telecommunications companies have deployed fuel cells all at sites across the world to ensure consitent

primary or backup power for a range ofsystems that require reliable on‐site direct DC power supply

The reasons are many ndash for backup power fuel cells provide a better total cost of ownership are clean

and quiet fuel flexible and boast longer runtimes than batteries They also use less space and are

lighter than batteries or generators so are able to be sited on rooftops and are rugged and durable

allowing for siting off the beaten path in rural and remote areas

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Fuel Cells Deliver Powerful Benefits

The business case for fuel cells is growing

With the industry rapidly emerging as a Highlights since last report multibillion dollar market opportunity the

United States is staking a leadership role in Home Depot now countryrsquos largest stationary technology development manufacturing fuel cell customer with more than 140 sites and economic impact A main reason for IKEA installing fuel cells at 4 more stores in this success is the increasing investment by California and one in Connecticut the private sector and business community eBay adding 375 MW to its Utah data center

bringing it to ~10 MW While the government primarily through More than 15000 fuel cell‐forklifts in operation the US Department of Energy has focused or on order on early stage research and development

industry has been successfully commercializing and deploying cutting edge technologies in fuel cells and

hydrogen that are now demonstrating tangible benefits

Today fuel cells are utilizing domestically produced natural gas to power to retail stores data centers

production sites and other company facilities greatly reducing emissions and doing so at a cost that can

be competitive with the local electric grid in some states1 2 By producing power onsite facilities can

continue their essential operations even when grid power goes down

Fuel cells are also competing in the material handling market with companies finding value in improved

operational efficiency and cost savings using fuel cells in forklifts and other vehicles over battery units ndash

About Fuel Cells

A fuel cell generates electricity using an electrochemical reaction not combustion and depending on the fuel source produces zero or near‐zero polluting emissions Fuel cells offer a unique combination of proven benefits that make them ideally suited for a number of applications

Benefits for Stationary Applications Benefits for Material Handling Equipment

Can be primary or backup power source Zero emissions

Operate in tandem or independent of electric Long runtime

grid Minutes to refuel

High efficiency Constant power (no voltage sag)

Low to zero emissions Cold storage operation

Fuel flexible (conventional or renewable Eliminates need for battery charging room fuels) Increased worker productivity

Rugged and quiet Lower operational costs Operate in water balance

Modular and scalable

1

eliminating the need for and space dedicated to battery charging and swapping Fuel cells also allow

for quicker refueling which saves time and full‐power operation throughout the shift without any

voltage sag or challenges when operating in refrigerated warehouse environments

In addition telecommunications companies worldwide are turning to fuel cells to provide reliable

primary or backup power and longer run times while simultaneously benefitting from lower emissions

The reliability of fuel cells and freedom from the need for daily refueling at remote locations makes this

a competitive technology in this application

There are many reasons why companies choose fuel cells for stationary and motive power applications

The long list of benefits are outlined above and discussed at length in previous editions of this report

continue to make this technology an attractive option for new customers as well as for companies

choosing to expand their portfolio to dozens hundreds and even thousands of fuel cells Fuel cells

enable customers to attain not only environmental benefits but also economic operational and other

savings as well

Corporate Commitments

Corporate environmental goals are not just internalized within company walls Many corporations are

joining collaborative initiatives to publicly hold themselves more accountable These include the Science

Based Targets Initiative3 where companies pledge to adopt targets in line with the science on how to

keep global warming below two degrees There are now more than 170 corporations committed

including fuel cell users Coca‐Cola Procter amp Gamble Walmart Kellogg Company Pfizer and Carrefour

as well as automotive companies BMW Honda Daimler Toyota and Nissan most of which have fuel

cell forklifts deployed at manufacturing facilities and all developing fuel cell light duty vehicles

Another global initiative the Climate Grouprsquos RE1004 includes influential businesses committed to

transitioning to 100 renewable electricity including biomass and biogas geothermal solar water and

wind ndash either sourced from the market or self‐produced The 100 renewable energy goal can be

achieved by producing power either on or off‐site at its facilities or from procuring power via contracts

with utilities Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) or renewable electricity certificates

Many of the companies involved in RE100 operate fuel cells including ones fueled by biogas in some

capacity including IKEA Adobe Apple Bank of America Equinix Google Johnson amp Johnson Coca‐

Cola BMW GM Procter amp Gamble Walmart as well as international users La Poste Marks amp Spencer

Colruyt Group and Tata Motors

The Climate Group estimates that when all of its participating companies are operating with 100

renewable energy they will create demand for 901 terrawatt hours of renewable electricity saving

around 56 mega‐tonnes of CO2 annually

2

There is also the Renewable Energy Buyers Alliance (REBA)5 formed by four non‐governmental

organizations to empower multinational companies to deploy renewable energy in the United States

with the goal of 60 gigawatts by 2025 REBA includes fuel cell users Adobe BD eBay Equinix FedEx

GM Honda IBM Johnson amp Johnson Kaiser Permanente Marriott Microsoft Owens Corning Sprint

Time Warner Cable Whole Foods and Yahoo

According to the Business Council for Sustainable Energyrsquos 2016 Sustainable Energy in America

Factbook6 corporations including fuel cell users Walmart Johnson amp Johnson Google and others have

doubled their investment in cleaner energy over the past two consecutive years

The list of customers continues to grow and since the last Business Case report there have been some

real standouts in the corporate world becoming champion fuel cell advocates by purchasing installing

and deploying fuel cells in different applications at multiple facilities around the country

The Home Depot

Since our last report The Home Depot has emerged as the leading corporate customer of stationary fuel

cells installing 200‐kilowatt (kW) systems at stores in California Connecticut and New York The Home

Depot began installing fuel cells in 2014 and by late

2016 is using fuel cells to generate power at 140 of its

US retail locations7

Although the Home Depot has already deployed about

28 megawatts (MW) of fuel cell power generation it

isnrsquot done yet ndash the company intends to add fuel cells to

more stores for a total of 170 retail sites operating fuel

cell for power generation8

The Home Depot reports that the fuel cells provide

electricity at a lower cost than the electric grid and

when stores have low power needs it can send energy back to the grid9

Carol Tome The Home Depotrsquos Chief Financial Officer said ldquoWe look at the value of fuel cells in two

ways First productivity ndash where we have the fuel cells installed we see that our electricity costs are

15 to 20 percent less than they would be if we bought off the grid so thatrsquos a good thing And then

sustainability because the fuel cells take natural gas and convert it to electricity without combustion

we see lower levels of carbon dioxide emissions In fact since 2014 our carbon dioxide emissionshave

been reduced by 50 million pounds Thatrsquos equivalent to removing 4800 cars off the roads and wersquore

thrilledrdquo10

3

Other benefits include huge water savings ndash each 200 kW fuel cell system saves 31 million gallons of

water annually

Craig DrsquoArcy the Home Depotrsquos director of Energy Management stated ldquoPerhaps the biggest driver that

made fuel cells the right fit for the stores wersquove done so far is that they eliminate the concern over aging

roofs A solar install requires that the roof stay in place for at least 15 years otherwise you significantly

erode the financial benefit by incurring costs to remove and reinstall the solar system after the roof has

been replacedrdquo11

The Home Depot is also investing in fuel cells for material handling In the last report we detailed the

Troy Township Ohio location where the company deployed more than 175 fuel cell‐powered forklifts

are operating in its new 16 million‐sq‐ft distribution center The Home Depot is now set to introduce

another fleet of fuel cell forklifts at a Savannah Georgia distribution center12

IKEA

Swedish furniture retailer IKEA expanded its fuel cell investment in 2016 by announcing it is adding fuel

cells at four more California stores (see chart next page) and one in New Haven Connecticut This will

bring IKEArsquos total fuel cell fleet including the 300‐kW fuel cell installed in 2015 at its Emeryville

California store to more than 15 MW of power

4

Christof Stein IKEArsquos New Haven store manager says that

ldquosimilar to our rooftop solar array this fuel cell system will

greatly reduce our carbon footprint and the storersquos reliance

on the power grid as well as contribute to our vision of

creating a better everyday life for the manyrdquo13

IKEArsquos history with fuel cells goes back even further more

than a decade when the company partnered with Opel a

subsidiary of General Motors to demonstrate the Open

Zafira fuel cell vehicle in Berlin Germany in 2005 In 2010

IKEA tested the fourth generation of the Zafira One of IKEArsquos Bloom Energy fuel cell systems at

California store

And in 2014 IKEA deployed a fleet of 20 forklift trucks at its distribution center in Saint‐Quentin‐

Fallavier France The site also features a hydrogen station from Air Liquide to refuel the forklifts

IKEA US President Lars Petersson also says that ldquofuel cells represent another way we can contribute to

our goal of generating renewable energy equal to the amount of power we consume worldwiderdquo14

Walmart

stores This builds on Walmartrsquos 2015 fuel cell installations which include a total 1 MW of fuel cell

Bloom Energy fuel cell server at a Walmart retail site

Walmart has a goal to be supplied 100 by

renewable energy The companyrsquos efforts to

meet this goal include the use of fuel cells both

for onsite power generation and power for

forklifts operating in the companyrsquos distribution

centers

In 2016 alone Walmart installed 48 MW of

Bloom Energy fuel cells to provide onsite power

generation at seventeen of its California retail

power generation in California (five retail stores) 400 kW in Connecticut (two retail stores) and a

250‐kW fuel cell system supplying power at a New Jersey store

In total Walmart has installed fuel cells at more than 60 of its retail sites in California Connecticut and

New Jersey to provide 40‐60 of the electricity needed by these facilities16 17 When grid power goes

down these fuel cells are capable of supplying power to keep a storersquos

refrigeration equipment lighting and cash registers in operation preventing

food spoilage and allowing a store to continue serving customers during

weather‐related and other outages18 Walmart also reports that its fuel cells

supply energy at prices lower than the cost of energy from local utilities19

Walmart also uses Plug Power GenDrive fuel cells to power to forklifts at

19 of its North American distribution centers including locations in Illinois

Indiana Minnesota New York Ohio Pennsylvania Texas and in Alberta and

Ontario Canada In aggregate the company operates more than 3000 fuel

cell‐powered forklifts at its sites along with the hydrogen fueling

infrastructure to support these deployments

Walmart states in its 2016 Global Sustainability Report that it is committed to

expanding its development of off‐ and onsite power from fuel cells solar wind and other technologies

in an effort to meet its goal of procuring 7 billion kWh of renewable energy generation by the end of

202020

Stop amp Shop

Northeast grocery chain Stop amp Shop and its parent company Ahold already uses fuel cells at three of

its grocery stores to generate power onsite two in New York ndash Peekskill (200‐kW Bloom Energy Server

installed in 2015) and Mt Vernon (250‐kW Bloom Energy Server installed in 2014) and a store in

Torrington Connecticut (400‐kW Doosan Fuel Cell America system installed in 2011)

The company also operates gas stations at several of its retail sites and has agreed to host a hydrogen

refueling pump at its Mansfield Massachusetts grocery store The proposed hydrogen station is one of

12 hydrogen stations in development by Toyota and Air Liquide to support the expansion of fuel cell

vehicles into the northeast US and recently received permit approval by the townrsquos zoning board21

The hydrogen supplied by Air Liquide will be produced off‐site and delivered to the station which is

anticipated to be operable in 201722

More Businesses and Services Relying on Fuel Cells

These select companies are just the tip of the technology iceberg What follows is a chart that highlights

businesses and services customers use and frequent every day or that work behind the scenes to

ensure everyone is connected and communicating This list is not exhaustive but shows that some of

the worldrsquos leading companies ones people trust with some of the most important facets of their lives

trust fuel cells ndash in some cases powering entire facilities without grid connection relying on fuel cells in

conjunction with renewables to fully support operations

The chart is divided into different market sectors and provides an update on any savings and progress

Retail Shopping

Retail chains are taking advantage of fuel cells for power for their stores and material handling

equipment (MHE) in their warehouses Two of the leading fuel cell customers Home Depot and

Walmart have more than 200 stores and 3500 forklifts utilizing fuel cells collectively

Onsite fuel cells can provide primary power backup power and combined heat and power (CHP) to retail

sites and warehouses Since the systems can operate independently from the power grid they can

supply power without disruption due to grid failure or blackouts The fuel cellrsquos excess heat can also be

captured to provide hot water or space heating increasing the fuel cellrsquos efficiency

The benefits of converting material handling fleets to fuel cells are many outlined in the introduction as

well as in previous reports For the retail sector the main advantage of using fuel cells for MHE could

arguably be the elimination of battery storage changing and charging areas allowing that space to be

regained and utilized to hold more products

Grocers Food amp Logistics

From supermarkets to the companies that provide the goods to stock them fuel cells are becoming a

lsquogreenlightrsquo special in the grocery food and beverage industry

Fuel cells can provide uninterrupted power even when the grid is down while helping grocery stores

and food packaging facilities reduce overall emissions The heat fuel cells generate as a byproduct can

be used for space heating hot water or run through an absorption chiller for air conditioning or

refrigeration providing increased efficiency for stores that have to keep food cold or fresh

Fuel cell‐powered forklifts are currently in operation at logistics facilities distribution centers and

grocery warehouses around the country replacing incumbent battery‐powered and combustion vehicles

due to their advantages of longer runtime faster refueling higher efficiency and constant power

especially in freezers and cold storage facilites

Healthcare amp Biotechnology

Reliability is critical to healthcare facilities to keep hospitals and treatment facilities up and running and

protecting life‐saving vaccines research and above all patients Onsite fuel cell power generation keeps

essential services operating even when other sites lack power

In addition to onsite power supply fuel cells can provide additional benefits A fuel cellrsquos byproduct

heat can be recovered for use in facility heating provision of hot water and when run through an

absorption chiller for facility cooling

Fuel cells also provide a bonus in a hospital setting since they operate quietly producing about

60‐70 decibels of sound (the typical level of a conversation) allowing patients to heal without the

intrusion of unwanted noise

Like corporations healthcare and biotech companies use fuel cells to generate power at their corporate

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Fuel Cells Deliver Powerful Benefits

The business case for fuel cells is growing

With the industry rapidly emerging as a Highlights since last report multibillion dollar market opportunity the

United States is staking a leadership role in Home Depot now countryrsquos largest stationary technology development manufacturing fuel cell customer with more than 140 sites and economic impact A main reason for IKEA installing fuel cells at 4 more stores in this success is the increasing investment by California and one in Connecticut the private sector and business community eBay adding 375 MW to its Utah data center

bringing it to ~10 MW While the government primarily through More than 15000 fuel cell‐forklifts in operation the US Department of Energy has focused or on order on early stage research and development

industry has been successfully commercializing and deploying cutting edge technologies in fuel cells and

hydrogen that are now demonstrating tangible benefits

Today fuel cells are utilizing domestically produced natural gas to power to retail stores data centers

production sites and other company facilities greatly reducing emissions and doing so at a cost that can

be competitive with the local electric grid in some states1 2 By producing power onsite facilities can

continue their essential operations even when grid power goes down

Fuel cells are also competing in the material handling market with companies finding value in improved

operational efficiency and cost savings using fuel cells in forklifts and other vehicles over battery units ndash

About Fuel Cells

A fuel cell generates electricity using an electrochemical reaction not combustion and depending on the fuel source produces zero or near‐zero polluting emissions Fuel cells offer a unique combination of proven benefits that make them ideally suited for a number of applications

Benefits for Stationary Applications Benefits for Material Handling Equipment

Can be primary or backup power source Zero emissions

Operate in tandem or independent of electric Long runtime

grid Minutes to refuel

High efficiency Constant power (no voltage sag)

Low to zero emissions Cold storage operation

Fuel flexible (conventional or renewable Eliminates need for battery charging room fuels) Increased worker productivity

Rugged and quiet Lower operational costs Operate in water balance

Modular and scalable

1

eliminating the need for and space dedicated to battery charging and swapping Fuel cells also allow

for quicker refueling which saves time and full‐power operation throughout the shift without any

voltage sag or challenges when operating in refrigerated warehouse environments

In addition telecommunications companies worldwide are turning to fuel cells to provide reliable

primary or backup power and longer run times while simultaneously benefitting from lower emissions

The reliability of fuel cells and freedom from the need for daily refueling at remote locations makes this

a competitive technology in this application

There are many reasons why companies choose fuel cells for stationary and motive power applications

The long list of benefits are outlined above and discussed at length in previous editions of this report

continue to make this technology an attractive option for new customers as well as for companies

choosing to expand their portfolio to dozens hundreds and even thousands of fuel cells Fuel cells

enable customers to attain not only environmental benefits but also economic operational and other

savings as well

Corporate Commitments

Corporate environmental goals are not just internalized within company walls Many corporations are

joining collaborative initiatives to publicly hold themselves more accountable These include the Science

Based Targets Initiative3 where companies pledge to adopt targets in line with the science on how to

keep global warming below two degrees There are now more than 170 corporations committed

including fuel cell users Coca‐Cola Procter amp Gamble Walmart Kellogg Company Pfizer and Carrefour

as well as automotive companies BMW Honda Daimler Toyota and Nissan most of which have fuel

cell forklifts deployed at manufacturing facilities and all developing fuel cell light duty vehicles

Another global initiative the Climate Grouprsquos RE1004 includes influential businesses committed to

transitioning to 100 renewable electricity including biomass and biogas geothermal solar water and

wind ndash either sourced from the market or self‐produced The 100 renewable energy goal can be

achieved by producing power either on or off‐site at its facilities or from procuring power via contracts

with utilities Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) or renewable electricity certificates

Many of the companies involved in RE100 operate fuel cells including ones fueled by biogas in some

capacity including IKEA Adobe Apple Bank of America Equinix Google Johnson amp Johnson Coca‐

Cola BMW GM Procter amp Gamble Walmart as well as international users La Poste Marks amp Spencer

Colruyt Group and Tata Motors

The Climate Group estimates that when all of its participating companies are operating with 100

renewable energy they will create demand for 901 terrawatt hours of renewable electricity saving

around 56 mega‐tonnes of CO2 annually

2

There is also the Renewable Energy Buyers Alliance (REBA)5 formed by four non‐governmental

organizations to empower multinational companies to deploy renewable energy in the United States

with the goal of 60 gigawatts by 2025 REBA includes fuel cell users Adobe BD eBay Equinix FedEx

GM Honda IBM Johnson amp Johnson Kaiser Permanente Marriott Microsoft Owens Corning Sprint

Time Warner Cable Whole Foods and Yahoo

According to the Business Council for Sustainable Energyrsquos 2016 Sustainable Energy in America

Factbook6 corporations including fuel cell users Walmart Johnson amp Johnson Google and others have

doubled their investment in cleaner energy over the past two consecutive years

The list of customers continues to grow and since the last Business Case report there have been some

real standouts in the corporate world becoming champion fuel cell advocates by purchasing installing

and deploying fuel cells in different applications at multiple facilities around the country

The Home Depot

Since our last report The Home Depot has emerged as the leading corporate customer of stationary fuel

cells installing 200‐kilowatt (kW) systems at stores in California Connecticut and New York The Home

Depot began installing fuel cells in 2014 and by late

2016 is using fuel cells to generate power at 140 of its

US retail locations7

Although the Home Depot has already deployed about

28 megawatts (MW) of fuel cell power generation it

isnrsquot done yet ndash the company intends to add fuel cells to

more stores for a total of 170 retail sites operating fuel

cell for power generation8

The Home Depot reports that the fuel cells provide

electricity at a lower cost than the electric grid and

when stores have low power needs it can send energy back to the grid9

Carol Tome The Home Depotrsquos Chief Financial Officer said ldquoWe look at the value of fuel cells in two

ways First productivity ndash where we have the fuel cells installed we see that our electricity costs are

15 to 20 percent less than they would be if we bought off the grid so thatrsquos a good thing And then

sustainability because the fuel cells take natural gas and convert it to electricity without combustion

we see lower levels of carbon dioxide emissions In fact since 2014 our carbon dioxide emissionshave

been reduced by 50 million pounds Thatrsquos equivalent to removing 4800 cars off the roads and wersquore

thrilledrdquo10

3

Other benefits include huge water savings ndash each 200 kW fuel cell system saves 31 million gallons of

water annually

Craig DrsquoArcy the Home Depotrsquos director of Energy Management stated ldquoPerhaps the biggest driver that

made fuel cells the right fit for the stores wersquove done so far is that they eliminate the concern over aging

roofs A solar install requires that the roof stay in place for at least 15 years otherwise you significantly

erode the financial benefit by incurring costs to remove and reinstall the solar system after the roof has

been replacedrdquo11

The Home Depot is also investing in fuel cells for material handling In the last report we detailed the

Troy Township Ohio location where the company deployed more than 175 fuel cell‐powered forklifts

are operating in its new 16 million‐sq‐ft distribution center The Home Depot is now set to introduce

another fleet of fuel cell forklifts at a Savannah Georgia distribution center12

IKEA

Swedish furniture retailer IKEA expanded its fuel cell investment in 2016 by announcing it is adding fuel

cells at four more California stores (see chart next page) and one in New Haven Connecticut This will

bring IKEArsquos total fuel cell fleet including the 300‐kW fuel cell installed in 2015 at its Emeryville

California store to more than 15 MW of power

4

Christof Stein IKEArsquos New Haven store manager says that

ldquosimilar to our rooftop solar array this fuel cell system will

greatly reduce our carbon footprint and the storersquos reliance

on the power grid as well as contribute to our vision of

creating a better everyday life for the manyrdquo13

IKEArsquos history with fuel cells goes back even further more

than a decade when the company partnered with Opel a

subsidiary of General Motors to demonstrate the Open

Zafira fuel cell vehicle in Berlin Germany in 2005 In 2010

IKEA tested the fourth generation of the Zafira One of IKEArsquos Bloom Energy fuel cell systems at

California store

And in 2014 IKEA deployed a fleet of 20 forklift trucks at its distribution center in Saint‐Quentin‐

Fallavier France The site also features a hydrogen station from Air Liquide to refuel the forklifts

IKEA US President Lars Petersson also says that ldquofuel cells represent another way we can contribute to

our goal of generating renewable energy equal to the amount of power we consume worldwiderdquo14

Walmart

stores This builds on Walmartrsquos 2015 fuel cell installations which include a total 1 MW of fuel cell

Bloom Energy fuel cell server at a Walmart retail site

Walmart has a goal to be supplied 100 by

renewable energy The companyrsquos efforts to

meet this goal include the use of fuel cells both

for onsite power generation and power for

forklifts operating in the companyrsquos distribution

centers

In 2016 alone Walmart installed 48 MW of

Bloom Energy fuel cells to provide onsite power

generation at seventeen of its California retail

power generation in California (five retail stores) 400 kW in Connecticut (two retail stores) and a

250‐kW fuel cell system supplying power at a New Jersey store

In total Walmart has installed fuel cells at more than 60 of its retail sites in California Connecticut and

New Jersey to provide 40‐60 of the electricity needed by these facilities16 17 When grid power goes

down these fuel cells are capable of supplying power to keep a storersquos

refrigeration equipment lighting and cash registers in operation preventing

food spoilage and allowing a store to continue serving customers during

weather‐related and other outages18 Walmart also reports that its fuel cells

supply energy at prices lower than the cost of energy from local utilities19

Walmart also uses Plug Power GenDrive fuel cells to power to forklifts at

19 of its North American distribution centers including locations in Illinois

Indiana Minnesota New York Ohio Pennsylvania Texas and in Alberta and

Ontario Canada In aggregate the company operates more than 3000 fuel

cell‐powered forklifts at its sites along with the hydrogen fueling

infrastructure to support these deployments

Walmart states in its 2016 Global Sustainability Report that it is committed to

expanding its development of off‐ and onsite power from fuel cells solar wind and other technologies

in an effort to meet its goal of procuring 7 billion kWh of renewable energy generation by the end of

202020

Stop amp Shop

Northeast grocery chain Stop amp Shop and its parent company Ahold already uses fuel cells at three of

its grocery stores to generate power onsite two in New York ndash Peekskill (200‐kW Bloom Energy Server

installed in 2015) and Mt Vernon (250‐kW Bloom Energy Server installed in 2014) and a store in

Torrington Connecticut (400‐kW Doosan Fuel Cell America system installed in 2011)

The company also operates gas stations at several of its retail sites and has agreed to host a hydrogen

refueling pump at its Mansfield Massachusetts grocery store The proposed hydrogen station is one of

12 hydrogen stations in development by Toyota and Air Liquide to support the expansion of fuel cell

vehicles into the northeast US and recently received permit approval by the townrsquos zoning board21

The hydrogen supplied by Air Liquide will be produced off‐site and delivered to the station which is

anticipated to be operable in 201722

More Businesses and Services Relying on Fuel Cells

These select companies are just the tip of the technology iceberg What follows is a chart that highlights

businesses and services customers use and frequent every day or that work behind the scenes to

ensure everyone is connected and communicating This list is not exhaustive but shows that some of

the worldrsquos leading companies ones people trust with some of the most important facets of their lives

trust fuel cells ndash in some cases powering entire facilities without grid connection relying on fuel cells in

conjunction with renewables to fully support operations

The chart is divided into different market sectors and provides an update on any savings and progress

since our last report including new customers This includes Retail Shopping Grocers Food amp Logistics

Industrial amp Consumer Products Technology amp Telecommunications Financial Services Real Estate

Healthcare amp Biotechnology Entertainment amp Sports Hotels Transportation and Utilities The update

Retail Shopping

Retail chains are taking advantage of fuel cells for power for their stores and material handling

equipment (MHE) in their warehouses Two of the leading fuel cell customers Home Depot and

Walmart have more than 200 stores and 3500 forklifts utilizing fuel cells collectively

Onsite fuel cells can provide primary power backup power and combined heat and power (CHP) to retail

sites and warehouses Since the systems can operate independently from the power grid they can

supply power without disruption due to grid failure or blackouts The fuel cellrsquos excess heat can also be

captured to provide hot water or space heating increasing the fuel cellrsquos efficiency

The benefits of converting material handling fleets to fuel cells are many outlined in the introduction as

well as in previous reports For the retail sector the main advantage of using fuel cells for MHE could

arguably be the elimination of battery storage changing and charging areas allowing that space to be

regained and utilized to hold more products

Grocers Food amp Logistics

From supermarkets to the companies that provide the goods to stock them fuel cells are becoming a

lsquogreenlightrsquo special in the grocery food and beverage industry

Fuel cells can provide uninterrupted power even when the grid is down while helping grocery stores

and food packaging facilities reduce overall emissions The heat fuel cells generate as a byproduct can

be used for space heating hot water or run through an absorption chiller for air conditioning or

refrigeration providing increased efficiency for stores that have to keep food cold or fresh

Fuel cell‐powered forklifts are currently in operation at logistics facilities distribution centers and

grocery warehouses around the country replacing incumbent battery‐powered and combustion vehicles

due to their advantages of longer runtime faster refueling higher efficiency and constant power

especially in freezers and cold storage facilites

According to the US Department of Energy there are about 3 million data centers in the United States

consuming 100 billion kWh of electricity a year and comprising more than 2 of all US electricity use87

Ongoing strong growth in the data center market could strain existing grid resources and impact power

reliability with power outages costing data centers over $7000 per minute and more than half a million

dollars per occurrence88

Fuel cells can help to mitigate this problem Financial services companies and banks are trusting fuel

cells to generate high quality reliable power for data centers and mission critical applications Resilient

onsite fuel cells are able to provide assured power at a high efficiency helping meet sustainability goals

while ensuring financial transactions and operations will continue regardless of circumstances

Reliability is critical to healthcare facilities to keep hospitals and treatment facilities up and running and

protecting life‐saving vaccines research and above all patients Onsite fuel cell power generation keeps

essential services operating even when other sites lack power

In addition to onsite power supply fuel cells can provide additional benefits A fuel cellrsquos byproduct

heat can be recovered for use in facility heating provision of hot water and when run through an

absorption chiller for facility cooling

Fuel cells also provide a bonus in a hospital setting since they operate quietly producing about

60‐70 decibels of sound (the typical level of a conversation) allowing patients to heal without the

intrusion of unwanted noise

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Fuel Cells Deliver Powerful Benefits

The business case for fuel cells is growing

With the industry rapidly emerging as a Highlights since last report multibillion dollar market opportunity the

United States is staking a leadership role in Home Depot now countryrsquos largest stationary technology development manufacturing fuel cell customer with more than 140 sites and economic impact A main reason for IKEA installing fuel cells at 4 more stores in this success is the increasing investment by California and one in Connecticut the private sector and business community eBay adding 375 MW to its Utah data center

bringing it to ~10 MW While the government primarily through More than 15000 fuel cell‐forklifts in operation the US Department of Energy has focused or on order on early stage research and development

industry has been successfully commercializing and deploying cutting edge technologies in fuel cells and

hydrogen that are now demonstrating tangible benefits

Today fuel cells are utilizing domestically produced natural gas to power to retail stores data centers

production sites and other company facilities greatly reducing emissions and doing so at a cost that can

be competitive with the local electric grid in some states1 2 By producing power onsite facilities can

continue their essential operations even when grid power goes down

Fuel cells are also competing in the material handling market with companies finding value in improved

operational efficiency and cost savings using fuel cells in forklifts and other vehicles over battery units ndash

About Fuel Cells

A fuel cell generates electricity using an electrochemical reaction not combustion and depending on the fuel source produces zero or near‐zero polluting emissions Fuel cells offer a unique combination of proven benefits that make them ideally suited for a number of applications

Benefits for Stationary Applications Benefits for Material Handling Equipment

Can be primary or backup power source Zero emissions

Operate in tandem or independent of electric Long runtime

grid Minutes to refuel

High efficiency Constant power (no voltage sag)

Low to zero emissions Cold storage operation

Fuel flexible (conventional or renewable Eliminates need for battery charging room fuels) Increased worker productivity

Rugged and quiet Lower operational costs Operate in water balance

Modular and scalable

1

eliminating the need for and space dedicated to battery charging and swapping Fuel cells also allow

for quicker refueling which saves time and full‐power operation throughout the shift without any

voltage sag or challenges when operating in refrigerated warehouse environments

In addition telecommunications companies worldwide are turning to fuel cells to provide reliable

primary or backup power and longer run times while simultaneously benefitting from lower emissions

The reliability of fuel cells and freedom from the need for daily refueling at remote locations makes this

a competitive technology in this application

There are many reasons why companies choose fuel cells for stationary and motive power applications

The long list of benefits are outlined above and discussed at length in previous editions of this report

continue to make this technology an attractive option for new customers as well as for companies

choosing to expand their portfolio to dozens hundreds and even thousands of fuel cells Fuel cells

enable customers to attain not only environmental benefits but also economic operational and other

savings as well

Corporate Commitments

Corporate environmental goals are not just internalized within company walls Many corporations are

joining collaborative initiatives to publicly hold themselves more accountable These include the Science

Based Targets Initiative3 where companies pledge to adopt targets in line with the science on how to

keep global warming below two degrees There are now more than 170 corporations committed

including fuel cell users Coca‐Cola Procter amp Gamble Walmart Kellogg Company Pfizer and Carrefour

as well as automotive companies BMW Honda Daimler Toyota and Nissan most of which have fuel

cell forklifts deployed at manufacturing facilities and all developing fuel cell light duty vehicles

Another global initiative the Climate Grouprsquos RE1004 includes influential businesses committed to

transitioning to 100 renewable electricity including biomass and biogas geothermal solar water and

wind ndash either sourced from the market or self‐produced The 100 renewable energy goal can be

achieved by producing power either on or off‐site at its facilities or from procuring power via contracts

with utilities Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) or renewable electricity certificates

Many of the companies involved in RE100 operate fuel cells including ones fueled by biogas in some

capacity including IKEA Adobe Apple Bank of America Equinix Google Johnson amp Johnson Coca‐

Cola BMW GM Procter amp Gamble Walmart as well as international users La Poste Marks amp Spencer

Colruyt Group and Tata Motors

The Climate Group estimates that when all of its participating companies are operating with 100

renewable energy they will create demand for 901 terrawatt hours of renewable electricity saving

around 56 mega‐tonnes of CO2 annually

2

There is also the Renewable Energy Buyers Alliance (REBA)5 formed by four non‐governmental

organizations to empower multinational companies to deploy renewable energy in the United States

with the goal of 60 gigawatts by 2025 REBA includes fuel cell users Adobe BD eBay Equinix FedEx

GM Honda IBM Johnson amp Johnson Kaiser Permanente Marriott Microsoft Owens Corning Sprint

Time Warner Cable Whole Foods and Yahoo

According to the Business Council for Sustainable Energyrsquos 2016 Sustainable Energy in America

Factbook6 corporations including fuel cell users Walmart Johnson amp Johnson Google and others have

doubled their investment in cleaner energy over the past two consecutive years

The list of customers continues to grow and since the last Business Case report there have been some

real standouts in the corporate world becoming champion fuel cell advocates by purchasing installing

and deploying fuel cells in different applications at multiple facilities around the country

The Home Depot

Since our last report The Home Depot has emerged as the leading corporate customer of stationary fuel

cells installing 200‐kilowatt (kW) systems at stores in California Connecticut and New York The Home

Depot began installing fuel cells in 2014 and by late

2016 is using fuel cells to generate power at 140 of its

US retail locations7

Although the Home Depot has already deployed about

28 megawatts (MW) of fuel cell power generation it

isnrsquot done yet ndash the company intends to add fuel cells to

more stores for a total of 170 retail sites operating fuel

cell for power generation8

The Home Depot reports that the fuel cells provide

electricity at a lower cost than the electric grid and

when stores have low power needs it can send energy back to the grid9

Carol Tome The Home Depotrsquos Chief Financial Officer said ldquoWe look at the value of fuel cells in two

ways First productivity ndash where we have the fuel cells installed we see that our electricity costs are

15 to 20 percent less than they would be if we bought off the grid so thatrsquos a good thing And then

sustainability because the fuel cells take natural gas and convert it to electricity without combustion

we see lower levels of carbon dioxide emissions In fact since 2014 our carbon dioxide emissionshave

been reduced by 50 million pounds Thatrsquos equivalent to removing 4800 cars off the roads and wersquore

thrilledrdquo10

3

Other benefits include huge water savings ndash each 200 kW fuel cell system saves 31 million gallons of

water annually

Craig DrsquoArcy the Home Depotrsquos director of Energy Management stated ldquoPerhaps the biggest driver that

made fuel cells the right fit for the stores wersquove done so far is that they eliminate the concern over aging

roofs A solar install requires that the roof stay in place for at least 15 years otherwise you significantly

erode the financial benefit by incurring costs to remove and reinstall the solar system after the roof has

been replacedrdquo11

The Home Depot is also investing in fuel cells for material handling In the last report we detailed the

Troy Township Ohio location where the company deployed more than 175 fuel cell‐powered forklifts

are operating in its new 16 million‐sq‐ft distribution center The Home Depot is now set to introduce

another fleet of fuel cell forklifts at a Savannah Georgia distribution center12

IKEA

Swedish furniture retailer IKEA expanded its fuel cell investment in 2016 by announcing it is adding fuel

cells at four more California stores (see chart next page) and one in New Haven Connecticut This will

bring IKEArsquos total fuel cell fleet including the 300‐kW fuel cell installed in 2015 at its Emeryville

California store to more than 15 MW of power

4

Christof Stein IKEArsquos New Haven store manager says that

ldquosimilar to our rooftop solar array this fuel cell system will

greatly reduce our carbon footprint and the storersquos reliance

on the power grid as well as contribute to our vision of

creating a better everyday life for the manyrdquo13

IKEArsquos history with fuel cells goes back even further more

than a decade when the company partnered with Opel a

subsidiary of General Motors to demonstrate the Open

Zafira fuel cell vehicle in Berlin Germany in 2005 In 2010

IKEA tested the fourth generation of the Zafira One of IKEArsquos Bloom Energy fuel cell systems at

California store

And in 2014 IKEA deployed a fleet of 20 forklift trucks at its distribution center in Saint‐Quentin‐

Fallavier France The site also features a hydrogen station from Air Liquide to refuel the forklifts

IKEA US President Lars Petersson also says that ldquofuel cells represent another way we can contribute to

our goal of generating renewable energy equal to the amount of power we consume worldwiderdquo14

Walmart

stores This builds on Walmartrsquos 2015 fuel cell installations which include a total 1 MW of fuel cell

Bloom Energy fuel cell server at a Walmart retail site

Walmart has a goal to be supplied 100 by

renewable energy The companyrsquos efforts to

meet this goal include the use of fuel cells both

for onsite power generation and power for

forklifts operating in the companyrsquos distribution

centers

In 2016 alone Walmart installed 48 MW of

Bloom Energy fuel cells to provide onsite power

generation at seventeen of its California retail

power generation in California (five retail stores) 400 kW in Connecticut (two retail stores) and a

250‐kW fuel cell system supplying power at a New Jersey store

In total Walmart has installed fuel cells at more than 60 of its retail sites in California Connecticut and

New Jersey to provide 40‐60 of the electricity needed by these facilities16 17 When grid power goes

down these fuel cells are capable of supplying power to keep a storersquos

refrigeration equipment lighting and cash registers in operation preventing

food spoilage and allowing a store to continue serving customers during

weather‐related and other outages18 Walmart also reports that its fuel cells

supply energy at prices lower than the cost of energy from local utilities19

Walmart also uses Plug Power GenDrive fuel cells to power to forklifts at

19 of its North American distribution centers including locations in Illinois

Indiana Minnesota New York Ohio Pennsylvania Texas and in Alberta and

Ontario Canada In aggregate the company operates more than 3000 fuel

cell‐powered forklifts at its sites along with the hydrogen fueling

infrastructure to support these deployments

Walmart states in its 2016 Global Sustainability Report that it is committed to

expanding its development of off‐ and onsite power from fuel cells solar wind and other technologies

in an effort to meet its goal of procuring 7 billion kWh of renewable energy generation by the end of

202020

Stop amp Shop

Northeast grocery chain Stop amp Shop and its parent company Ahold already uses fuel cells at three of

its grocery stores to generate power onsite two in New York ndash Peekskill (200‐kW Bloom Energy Server

installed in 2015) and Mt Vernon (250‐kW Bloom Energy Server installed in 2014) and a store in

Torrington Connecticut (400‐kW Doosan Fuel Cell America system installed in 2011)

The company also operates gas stations at several of its retail sites and has agreed to host a hydrogen

refueling pump at its Mansfield Massachusetts grocery store The proposed hydrogen station is one of

12 hydrogen stations in development by Toyota and Air Liquide to support the expansion of fuel cell

vehicles into the northeast US and recently received permit approval by the townrsquos zoning board21

The hydrogen supplied by Air Liquide will be produced off‐site and delivered to the station which is

anticipated to be operable in 201722

More Businesses and Services Relying on Fuel Cells

These select companies are just the tip of the technology iceberg What follows is a chart that highlights

businesses and services customers use and frequent every day or that work behind the scenes to

ensure everyone is connected and communicating This list is not exhaustive but shows that some of

the worldrsquos leading companies ones people trust with some of the most important facets of their lives

trust fuel cells ndash in some cases powering entire facilities without grid connection relying on fuel cells in

conjunction with renewables to fully support operations

The chart is divided into different market sectors and provides an update on any savings and progress

since our last report including new customers This includes Retail Shopping Grocers Food amp Logistics

Industrial amp Consumer Products Technology amp Telecommunications Financial Services Real Estate

Healthcare amp Biotechnology Entertainment amp Sports Hotels Transportation and Utilities The update

section in the chart also includes new or unreported information discovered through research and

discussions with fuel cell manufacturers fuel providers and customers

Retail Shopping

Retail chains are taking advantage of fuel cells for power for their stores and material handling

equipment (MHE) in their warehouses Two of the leading fuel cell customers Home Depot and

Walmart have more than 200 stores and 3500 forklifts utilizing fuel cells collectively

Onsite fuel cells can provide primary power backup power and combined heat and power (CHP) to retail

sites and warehouses Since the systems can operate independently from the power grid they can

supply power without disruption due to grid failure or blackouts The fuel cellrsquos excess heat can also be

captured to provide hot water or space heating increasing the fuel cellrsquos efficiency

The benefits of converting material handling fleets to fuel cells are many outlined in the introduction as

well as in previous reports For the retail sector the main advantage of using fuel cells for MHE could

arguably be the elimination of battery storage changing and charging areas allowing that space to be

regained and utilized to hold more products

Grocers Food amp Logistics

From supermarkets to the companies that provide the goods to stock them fuel cells are becoming a

lsquogreenlightrsquo special in the grocery food and beverage industry

Fuel cells can provide uninterrupted power even when the grid is down while helping grocery stores

and food packaging facilities reduce overall emissions The heat fuel cells generate as a byproduct can

be used for space heating hot water or run through an absorption chiller for air conditioning or

refrigeration providing increased efficiency for stores that have to keep food cold or fresh

Fuel cell‐powered forklifts are currently in operation at logistics facilities distribution centers and

grocery warehouses around the country replacing incumbent battery‐powered and combustion vehicles

due to their advantages of longer runtime faster refueling higher efficiency and constant power

especially in freezers and cold storage facilites

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

power‐to‐gas applications

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

eliminating the need for and space dedicated to battery charging and swapping Fuel cells also allow

for quicker refueling which saves time and full‐power operation throughout the shift without any

voltage sag or challenges when operating in refrigerated warehouse environments

In addition telecommunications companies worldwide are turning to fuel cells to provide reliable

primary or backup power and longer run times while simultaneously benefitting from lower emissions

The reliability of fuel cells and freedom from the need for daily refueling at remote locations makes this

a competitive technology in this application

There are many reasons why companies choose fuel cells for stationary and motive power applications

The long list of benefits are outlined above and discussed at length in previous editions of this report

continue to make this technology an attractive option for new customers as well as for companies

choosing to expand their portfolio to dozens hundreds and even thousands of fuel cells Fuel cells

enable customers to attain not only environmental benefits but also economic operational and other

savings as well

Corporate Commitments

Corporate environmental goals are not just internalized within company walls Many corporations are

joining collaborative initiatives to publicly hold themselves more accountable These include the Science

Based Targets Initiative3 where companies pledge to adopt targets in line with the science on how to

keep global warming below two degrees There are now more than 170 corporations committed

including fuel cell users Coca‐Cola Procter amp Gamble Walmart Kellogg Company Pfizer and Carrefour

as well as automotive companies BMW Honda Daimler Toyota and Nissan most of which have fuel

cell forklifts deployed at manufacturing facilities and all developing fuel cell light duty vehicles

Another global initiative the Climate Grouprsquos RE1004 includes influential businesses committed to

transitioning to 100 renewable electricity including biomass and biogas geothermal solar water and

wind ndash either sourced from the market or self‐produced The 100 renewable energy goal can be

achieved by producing power either on or off‐site at its facilities or from procuring power via contracts

with utilities Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) or renewable electricity certificates

Many of the companies involved in RE100 operate fuel cells including ones fueled by biogas in some

capacity including IKEA Adobe Apple Bank of America Equinix Google Johnson amp Johnson Coca‐

Cola BMW GM Procter amp Gamble Walmart as well as international users La Poste Marks amp Spencer

Colruyt Group and Tata Motors

The Climate Group estimates that when all of its participating companies are operating with 100

renewable energy they will create demand for 901 terrawatt hours of renewable electricity saving

around 56 mega‐tonnes of CO2 annually

2

There is also the Renewable Energy Buyers Alliance (REBA)5 formed by four non‐governmental

organizations to empower multinational companies to deploy renewable energy in the United States

with the goal of 60 gigawatts by 2025 REBA includes fuel cell users Adobe BD eBay Equinix FedEx

GM Honda IBM Johnson amp Johnson Kaiser Permanente Marriott Microsoft Owens Corning Sprint

Time Warner Cable Whole Foods and Yahoo

According to the Business Council for Sustainable Energyrsquos 2016 Sustainable Energy in America

Factbook6 corporations including fuel cell users Walmart Johnson amp Johnson Google and others have

doubled their investment in cleaner energy over the past two consecutive years

The list of customers continues to grow and since the last Business Case report there have been some

real standouts in the corporate world becoming champion fuel cell advocates by purchasing installing

and deploying fuel cells in different applications at multiple facilities around the country

The Home Depot

Since our last report The Home Depot has emerged as the leading corporate customer of stationary fuel

cells installing 200‐kilowatt (kW) systems at stores in California Connecticut and New York The Home

Depot began installing fuel cells in 2014 and by late

2016 is using fuel cells to generate power at 140 of its

US retail locations7

Although the Home Depot has already deployed about

28 megawatts (MW) of fuel cell power generation it

isnrsquot done yet ndash the company intends to add fuel cells to

more stores for a total of 170 retail sites operating fuel

cell for power generation8

The Home Depot reports that the fuel cells provide

electricity at a lower cost than the electric grid and

when stores have low power needs it can send energy back to the grid9

Carol Tome The Home Depotrsquos Chief Financial Officer said ldquoWe look at the value of fuel cells in two

ways First productivity ndash where we have the fuel cells installed we see that our electricity costs are

15 to 20 percent less than they would be if we bought off the grid so thatrsquos a good thing And then

sustainability because the fuel cells take natural gas and convert it to electricity without combustion

we see lower levels of carbon dioxide emissions In fact since 2014 our carbon dioxide emissionshave

been reduced by 50 million pounds Thatrsquos equivalent to removing 4800 cars off the roads and wersquore

thrilledrdquo10

3

Other benefits include huge water savings ndash each 200 kW fuel cell system saves 31 million gallons of

water annually

Craig DrsquoArcy the Home Depotrsquos director of Energy Management stated ldquoPerhaps the biggest driver that

made fuel cells the right fit for the stores wersquove done so far is that they eliminate the concern over aging

roofs A solar install requires that the roof stay in place for at least 15 years otherwise you significantly

erode the financial benefit by incurring costs to remove and reinstall the solar system after the roof has

been replacedrdquo11

The Home Depot is also investing in fuel cells for material handling In the last report we detailed the

Troy Township Ohio location where the company deployed more than 175 fuel cell‐powered forklifts

are operating in its new 16 million‐sq‐ft distribution center The Home Depot is now set to introduce

another fleet of fuel cell forklifts at a Savannah Georgia distribution center12

IKEA

Swedish furniture retailer IKEA expanded its fuel cell investment in 2016 by announcing it is adding fuel

cells at four more California stores (see chart next page) and one in New Haven Connecticut This will

bring IKEArsquos total fuel cell fleet including the 300‐kW fuel cell installed in 2015 at its Emeryville

California store to more than 15 MW of power

4

Christof Stein IKEArsquos New Haven store manager says that

ldquosimilar to our rooftop solar array this fuel cell system will

greatly reduce our carbon footprint and the storersquos reliance

on the power grid as well as contribute to our vision of

creating a better everyday life for the manyrdquo13

IKEArsquos history with fuel cells goes back even further more

than a decade when the company partnered with Opel a

subsidiary of General Motors to demonstrate the Open

Zafira fuel cell vehicle in Berlin Germany in 2005 In 2010

IKEA tested the fourth generation of the Zafira One of IKEArsquos Bloom Energy fuel cell systems at

California store

And in 2014 IKEA deployed a fleet of 20 forklift trucks at its distribution center in Saint‐Quentin‐

Fallavier France The site also features a hydrogen station from Air Liquide to refuel the forklifts

IKEA US President Lars Petersson also says that ldquofuel cells represent another way we can contribute to

our goal of generating renewable energy equal to the amount of power we consume worldwiderdquo14

Walmart

stores This builds on Walmartrsquos 2015 fuel cell installations which include a total 1 MW of fuel cell

Bloom Energy fuel cell server at a Walmart retail site

Walmart has a goal to be supplied 100 by

renewable energy The companyrsquos efforts to

meet this goal include the use of fuel cells both

for onsite power generation and power for

forklifts operating in the companyrsquos distribution

centers

In 2016 alone Walmart installed 48 MW of

Bloom Energy fuel cells to provide onsite power

generation at seventeen of its California retail

power generation in California (five retail stores) 400 kW in Connecticut (two retail stores) and a

250‐kW fuel cell system supplying power at a New Jersey store

In total Walmart has installed fuel cells at more than 60 of its retail sites in California Connecticut and

New Jersey to provide 40‐60 of the electricity needed by these facilities16 17 When grid power goes

down these fuel cells are capable of supplying power to keep a storersquos

refrigeration equipment lighting and cash registers in operation preventing

food spoilage and allowing a store to continue serving customers during

weather‐related and other outages18 Walmart also reports that its fuel cells

supply energy at prices lower than the cost of energy from local utilities19

Walmart also uses Plug Power GenDrive fuel cells to power to forklifts at

19 of its North American distribution centers including locations in Illinois

Indiana Minnesota New York Ohio Pennsylvania Texas and in Alberta and

Ontario Canada In aggregate the company operates more than 3000 fuel

cell‐powered forklifts at its sites along with the hydrogen fueling

infrastructure to support these deployments

Walmart states in its 2016 Global Sustainability Report that it is committed to

expanding its development of off‐ and onsite power from fuel cells solar wind and other technologies

in an effort to meet its goal of procuring 7 billion kWh of renewable energy generation by the end of

202020

Stop amp Shop

Northeast grocery chain Stop amp Shop and its parent company Ahold already uses fuel cells at three of

its grocery stores to generate power onsite two in New York ndash Peekskill (200‐kW Bloom Energy Server

installed in 2015) and Mt Vernon (250‐kW Bloom Energy Server installed in 2014) and a store in

Torrington Connecticut (400‐kW Doosan Fuel Cell America system installed in 2011)

The company also operates gas stations at several of its retail sites and has agreed to host a hydrogen

refueling pump at its Mansfield Massachusetts grocery store The proposed hydrogen station is one of

12 hydrogen stations in development by Toyota and Air Liquide to support the expansion of fuel cell

vehicles into the northeast US and recently received permit approval by the townrsquos zoning board21

Retail Shopping

Retail chains are taking advantage of fuel cells for power for their stores and material handling

equipment (MHE) in their warehouses Two of the leading fuel cell customers Home Depot and

Walmart have more than 200 stores and 3500 forklifts utilizing fuel cells collectively

Onsite fuel cells can provide primary power backup power and combined heat and power (CHP) to retail

sites and warehouses Since the systems can operate independently from the power grid they can

supply power without disruption due to grid failure or blackouts The fuel cellrsquos excess heat can also be

captured to provide hot water or space heating increasing the fuel cellrsquos efficiency

The benefits of converting material handling fleets to fuel cells are many outlined in the introduction as

well as in previous reports For the retail sector the main advantage of using fuel cells for MHE could

arguably be the elimination of battery storage changing and charging areas allowing that space to be

regained and utilized to hold more products

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

power‐to‐gas applications

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

There is also the Renewable Energy Buyers Alliance (REBA)5 formed by four non‐governmental

organizations to empower multinational companies to deploy renewable energy in the United States

with the goal of 60 gigawatts by 2025 REBA includes fuel cell users Adobe BD eBay Equinix FedEx

GM Honda IBM Johnson amp Johnson Kaiser Permanente Marriott Microsoft Owens Corning Sprint

Time Warner Cable Whole Foods and Yahoo

According to the Business Council for Sustainable Energyrsquos 2016 Sustainable Energy in America

Factbook6 corporations including fuel cell users Walmart Johnson amp Johnson Google and others have

doubled their investment in cleaner energy over the past two consecutive years

The list of customers continues to grow and since the last Business Case report there have been some

real standouts in the corporate world becoming champion fuel cell advocates by purchasing installing

and deploying fuel cells in different applications at multiple facilities around the country

The Home Depot

Since our last report The Home Depot has emerged as the leading corporate customer of stationary fuel

cells installing 200‐kilowatt (kW) systems at stores in California Connecticut and New York The Home

Depot began installing fuel cells in 2014 and by late

2016 is using fuel cells to generate power at 140 of its

US retail locations7

Although the Home Depot has already deployed about

28 megawatts (MW) of fuel cell power generation it

isnrsquot done yet ndash the company intends to add fuel cells to

more stores for a total of 170 retail sites operating fuel

cell for power generation8

The Home Depot reports that the fuel cells provide

electricity at a lower cost than the electric grid and

when stores have low power needs it can send energy back to the grid9

Carol Tome The Home Depotrsquos Chief Financial Officer said ldquoWe look at the value of fuel cells in two

ways First productivity ndash where we have the fuel cells installed we see that our electricity costs are

15 to 20 percent less than they would be if we bought off the grid so thatrsquos a good thing And then

sustainability because the fuel cells take natural gas and convert it to electricity without combustion

we see lower levels of carbon dioxide emissions In fact since 2014 our carbon dioxide emissionshave

been reduced by 50 million pounds Thatrsquos equivalent to removing 4800 cars off the roads and wersquore

thrilledrdquo10

3

Other benefits include huge water savings ndash each 200 kW fuel cell system saves 31 million gallons of

water annually

Craig DrsquoArcy the Home Depotrsquos director of Energy Management stated ldquoPerhaps the biggest driver that

made fuel cells the right fit for the stores wersquove done so far is that they eliminate the concern over aging

roofs A solar install requires that the roof stay in place for at least 15 years otherwise you significantly

erode the financial benefit by incurring costs to remove and reinstall the solar system after the roof has

been replacedrdquo11

The Home Depot is also investing in fuel cells for material handling In the last report we detailed the

Troy Township Ohio location where the company deployed more than 175 fuel cell‐powered forklifts

are operating in its new 16 million‐sq‐ft distribution center The Home Depot is now set to introduce

another fleet of fuel cell forklifts at a Savannah Georgia distribution center12

IKEA

Swedish furniture retailer IKEA expanded its fuel cell investment in 2016 by announcing it is adding fuel

cells at four more California stores (see chart next page) and one in New Haven Connecticut This will

bring IKEArsquos total fuel cell fleet including the 300‐kW fuel cell installed in 2015 at its Emeryville

California store to more than 15 MW of power

4

Christof Stein IKEArsquos New Haven store manager says that

ldquosimilar to our rooftop solar array this fuel cell system will

greatly reduce our carbon footprint and the storersquos reliance

on the power grid as well as contribute to our vision of

creating a better everyday life for the manyrdquo13

IKEArsquos history with fuel cells goes back even further more

than a decade when the company partnered with Opel a

subsidiary of General Motors to demonstrate the Open

Zafira fuel cell vehicle in Berlin Germany in 2005 In 2010

IKEA tested the fourth generation of the Zafira One of IKEArsquos Bloom Energy fuel cell systems at

California store

And in 2014 IKEA deployed a fleet of 20 forklift trucks at its distribution center in Saint‐Quentin‐

Fallavier France The site also features a hydrogen station from Air Liquide to refuel the forklifts

IKEA US President Lars Petersson also says that ldquofuel cells represent another way we can contribute to

our goal of generating renewable energy equal to the amount of power we consume worldwiderdquo14

Walmart

stores This builds on Walmartrsquos 2015 fuel cell installations which include a total 1 MW of fuel cell

Bloom Energy fuel cell server at a Walmart retail site

Walmart has a goal to be supplied 100 by

renewable energy The companyrsquos efforts to

meet this goal include the use of fuel cells both

for onsite power generation and power for

forklifts operating in the companyrsquos distribution

centers

In 2016 alone Walmart installed 48 MW of

Bloom Energy fuel cells to provide onsite power

generation at seventeen of its California retail

power generation in California (five retail stores) 400 kW in Connecticut (two retail stores) and a

250‐kW fuel cell system supplying power at a New Jersey store

In total Walmart has installed fuel cells at more than 60 of its retail sites in California Connecticut and

New Jersey to provide 40‐60 of the electricity needed by these facilities16 17 When grid power goes

down these fuel cells are capable of supplying power to keep a storersquos

refrigeration equipment lighting and cash registers in operation preventing

food spoilage and allowing a store to continue serving customers during

weather‐related and other outages18 Walmart also reports that its fuel cells

supply energy at prices lower than the cost of energy from local utilities19

Walmart also uses Plug Power GenDrive fuel cells to power to forklifts at

19 of its North American distribution centers including locations in Illinois

Indiana Minnesota New York Ohio Pennsylvania Texas and in Alberta and

Ontario Canada In aggregate the company operates more than 3000 fuel

cell‐powered forklifts at its sites along with the hydrogen fueling

infrastructure to support these deployments

Walmart states in its 2016 Global Sustainability Report that it is committed to

expanding its development of off‐ and onsite power from fuel cells solar wind and other technologies

in an effort to meet its goal of procuring 7 billion kWh of renewable energy generation by the end of

202020

Stop amp Shop

Northeast grocery chain Stop amp Shop and its parent company Ahold already uses fuel cells at three of

its grocery stores to generate power onsite two in New York ndash Peekskill (200‐kW Bloom Energy Server

installed in 2015) and Mt Vernon (250‐kW Bloom Energy Server installed in 2014) and a store in

Torrington Connecticut (400‐kW Doosan Fuel Cell America system installed in 2011)

The company also operates gas stations at several of its retail sites and has agreed to host a hydrogen

refueling pump at its Mansfield Massachusetts grocery store The proposed hydrogen station is one of

12 hydrogen stations in development by Toyota and Air Liquide to support the expansion of fuel cell

vehicles into the northeast US and recently received permit approval by the townrsquos zoning board21

The hydrogen supplied by Air Liquide will be produced off‐site and delivered to the station which is

anticipated to be operable in 201722

Retail Shopping

Retail chains are taking advantage of fuel cells for power for their stores and material handling

equipment (MHE) in their warehouses Two of the leading fuel cell customers Home Depot and

Walmart have more than 200 stores and 3500 forklifts utilizing fuel cells collectively

Onsite fuel cells can provide primary power backup power and combined heat and power (CHP) to retail

sites and warehouses Since the systems can operate independently from the power grid they can

supply power without disruption due to grid failure or blackouts The fuel cellrsquos excess heat can also be

captured to provide hot water or space heating increasing the fuel cellrsquos efficiency

The benefits of converting material handling fleets to fuel cells are many outlined in the introduction as

well as in previous reports For the retail sector the main advantage of using fuel cells for MHE could

arguably be the elimination of battery storage changing and charging areas allowing that space to be

regained and utilized to hold more products

lsquogreenlightrsquo special in the grocery food and beverage industry

Fuel cells can provide uninterrupted power even when the grid is down while helping grocery stores

and food packaging facilities reduce overall emissions The heat fuel cells generate as a byproduct can

be used for space heating hot water or run through an absorption chiller for air conditioning or

refrigeration providing increased efficiency for stores that have to keep food cold or fresh

Fuel cell‐powered forklifts are currently in operation at logistics facilities distribution centers and

grocery warehouses around the country replacing incumbent battery‐powered and combustion vehicles

due to their advantages of longer runtime faster refueling higher efficiency and constant power

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

power‐to‐gas applications

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Other benefits include huge water savings ndash each 200 kW fuel cell system saves 31 million gallons of

water annually

Craig DrsquoArcy the Home Depotrsquos director of Energy Management stated ldquoPerhaps the biggest driver that

made fuel cells the right fit for the stores wersquove done so far is that they eliminate the concern over aging

roofs A solar install requires that the roof stay in place for at least 15 years otherwise you significantly

erode the financial benefit by incurring costs to remove and reinstall the solar system after the roof has

been replacedrdquo11

The Home Depot is also investing in fuel cells for material handling In the last report we detailed the

Troy Township Ohio location where the company deployed more than 175 fuel cell‐powered forklifts

are operating in its new 16 million‐sq‐ft distribution center The Home Depot is now set to introduce

another fleet of fuel cell forklifts at a Savannah Georgia distribution center12

IKEA

Swedish furniture retailer IKEA expanded its fuel cell investment in 2016 by announcing it is adding fuel

cells at four more California stores (see chart next page) and one in New Haven Connecticut This will

bring IKEArsquos total fuel cell fleet including the 300‐kW fuel cell installed in 2015 at its Emeryville

California store to more than 15 MW of power

Christof Stein IKEArsquos New Haven store manager says that

ldquosimilar to our rooftop solar array this fuel cell system will

greatly reduce our carbon footprint and the storersquos reliance

on the power grid as well as contribute to our vision of

creating a better everyday life for the manyrdquo13

IKEArsquos history with fuel cells goes back even further more

than a decade when the company partnered with Opel a

subsidiary of General Motors to demonstrate the Open

Zafira fuel cell vehicle in Berlin Germany in 2005 In 2010

IKEA tested the fourth generation of the Zafira One of IKEArsquos Bloom Energy fuel cell systems at

California store

And in 2014 IKEA deployed a fleet of 20 forklift trucks at its distribution center in Saint‐Quentin‐

Fallavier France The site also features a hydrogen station from Air Liquide to refuel the forklifts

IKEA US President Lars Petersson also says that ldquofuel cells represent another way we can contribute to

our goal of generating renewable energy equal to the amount of power we consume worldwiderdquo14

Walmart

stores This builds on Walmartrsquos 2015 fuel cell installations which include a total 1 MW of fuel cell

Bloom Energy fuel cell server at a Walmart retail site

Walmart has a goal to be supplied 100 by

renewable energy The companyrsquos efforts to

meet this goal include the use of fuel cells both

for onsite power generation and power for

forklifts operating in the companyrsquos distribution

centers

In 2016 alone Walmart installed 48 MW of

Bloom Energy fuel cells to provide onsite power

generation at seventeen of its California retail

power generation in California (five retail stores) 400 kW in Connecticut (two retail stores) and a

250‐kW fuel cell system supplying power at a New Jersey store

In total Walmart has installed fuel cells at more than 60 of its retail sites in California Connecticut and

New Jersey to provide 40‐60 of the electricity needed by these facilities16 17 When grid power goes

down these fuel cells are capable of supplying power to keep a storersquos

refrigeration equipment lighting and cash registers in operation preventing

food spoilage and allowing a store to continue serving customers during

weather‐related and other outages18 Walmart also reports that its fuel cells

supply energy at prices lower than the cost of energy from local utilities19

Walmart also uses Plug Power GenDrive fuel cells to power to forklifts at

19 of its North American distribution centers including locations in Illinois

Indiana Minnesota New York Ohio Pennsylvania Texas and in Alberta and

Ontario Canada In aggregate the company operates more than 3000 fuel

cell‐powered forklifts at its sites along with the hydrogen fueling

infrastructure to support these deployments

Walmart states in its 2016 Global Sustainability Report that it is committed to

expanding its development of off‐ and onsite power from fuel cells solar wind and other technologies

in an effort to meet its goal of procuring 7 billion kWh of renewable energy generation by the end of

202020

Stop amp Shop

Northeast grocery chain Stop amp Shop and its parent company Ahold already uses fuel cells at three of

its grocery stores to generate power onsite two in New York ndash Peekskill (200‐kW Bloom Energy Server

installed in 2015) and Mt Vernon (250‐kW Bloom Energy Server installed in 2014) and a store in

Torrington Connecticut (400‐kW Doosan Fuel Cell America system installed in 2011)

The company also operates gas stations at several of its retail sites and has agreed to host a hydrogen

refueling pump at its Mansfield Massachusetts grocery store The proposed hydrogen station is one of

12 hydrogen stations in development by Toyota and Air Liquide to support the expansion of fuel cell

vehicles into the northeast US and recently received permit approval by the townrsquos zoning board21

The hydrogen supplied by Air Liquide will be produced off‐site and delivered to the station which is

anticipated to be operable in 201722

Retail Shopping

Retail chains are taking advantage of fuel cells for power for their stores and material handling

equipment (MHE) in their warehouses Two of the leading fuel cell customers Home Depot and

Walmart have more than 200 stores and 3500 forklifts utilizing fuel cells collectively

Onsite fuel cells can provide primary power backup power and combined heat and power (CHP) to retail

sites and warehouses Since the systems can operate independently from the power grid they can

supply power without disruption due to grid failure or blackouts The fuel cellrsquos excess heat can also be

captured to provide hot water or space heating increasing the fuel cellrsquos efficiency

The benefits of converting material handling fleets to fuel cells are many outlined in the introduction as

well as in previous reports For the retail sector the main advantage of using fuel cells for MHE could

arguably be the elimination of battery storage changing and charging areas allowing that space to be

regained and utilized to hold more products

Grocers Food amp Logistics

From supermarkets to the companies that provide the goods to stock them fuel cells are becoming a

lsquogreenlightrsquo special in the grocery food and beverage industry

Fuel cells can provide uninterrupted power even when the grid is down while helping grocery stores

and food packaging facilities reduce overall emissions The heat fuel cells generate as a byproduct can

be used for space heating hot water or run through an absorption chiller for air conditioning or

refrigeration providing increased efficiency for stores that have to keep food cold or fresh

Fuel cell‐powered forklifts are currently in operation at logistics facilities distribution centers and

grocery warehouses around the country replacing incumbent battery‐powered and combustion vehicles

due to their advantages of longer runtime faster refueling higher efficiency and constant power

especially in freezers and cold storage facilites

Reliability is critical to healthcare facilities to keep hospitals and treatment facilities up and running and

protecting life‐saving vaccines research and above all patients Onsite fuel cell power generation keeps

essential services operating even when other sites lack power

In addition to onsite power supply fuel cells can provide additional benefits A fuel cellrsquos byproduct

heat can be recovered for use in facility heating provision of hot water and when run through an

absorption chiller for facility cooling

Fuel cells also provide a bonus in a hospital setting since they operate quietly producing about

60‐70 decibels of sound (the typical level of a conversation) allowing patients to heal without the

intrusion of unwanted noise

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

power‐to‐gas applications

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Christof Stein IKEArsquos New Haven store manager says that

ldquosimilar to our rooftop solar array this fuel cell system will

greatly reduce our carbon footprint and the storersquos reliance

on the power grid as well as contribute to our vision of

creating a better everyday life for the manyrdquo13

IKEArsquos history with fuel cells goes back even further more

than a decade when the company partnered with Opel a

subsidiary of General Motors to demonstrate the Open

Zafira fuel cell vehicle in Berlin Germany in 2005 In 2010

IKEA tested the fourth generation of the Zafira One of IKEArsquos Bloom Energy fuel cell systems at

California store

And in 2014 IKEA deployed a fleet of 20 forklift trucks at its distribution center in Saint‐Quentin‐

Fallavier France The site also features a hydrogen station from Air Liquide to refuel the forklifts

IKEA US President Lars Petersson also says that ldquofuel cells represent another way we can contribute to

our goal of generating renewable energy equal to the amount of power we consume worldwiderdquo14

Walmart

stores This builds on Walmartrsquos 2015 fuel cell installations which include a total 1 MW of fuel cell

Bloom Energy fuel cell server at a Walmart retail site

Walmart has a goal to be supplied 100 by

renewable energy The companyrsquos efforts to

meet this goal include the use of fuel cells both

for onsite power generation and power for

forklifts operating in the companyrsquos distribution

centers

In 2016 alone Walmart installed 48 MW of

Bloom Energy fuel cells to provide onsite power

generation at seventeen of its California retail

power generation in California (five retail stores) 400 kW in Connecticut (two retail stores) and a

250‐kW fuel cell system supplying power at a New Jersey store

In total Walmart has installed fuel cells at more than 60 of its retail sites in California Connecticut and

New Jersey to provide 40‐60 of the electricity needed by these facilities16 17 When grid power goes

down these fuel cells are capable of supplying power to keep a storersquos

refrigeration equipment lighting and cash registers in operation preventing

food spoilage and allowing a store to continue serving customers during

weather‐related and other outages18 Walmart also reports that its fuel cells

supply energy at prices lower than the cost of energy from local utilities19

Walmart also uses Plug Power GenDrive fuel cells to power to forklifts at

19 of its North American distribution centers including locations in Illinois

Indiana Minnesota New York Ohio Pennsylvania Texas and in Alberta and

Ontario Canada In aggregate the company operates more than 3000 fuel

cell‐powered forklifts at its sites along with the hydrogen fueling

infrastructure to support these deployments

Walmart states in its 2016 Global Sustainability Report that it is committed to

expanding its development of off‐ and onsite power from fuel cells solar wind and other technologies

in an effort to meet its goal of procuring 7 billion kWh of renewable energy generation by the end of

202020

Stop amp Shop

Northeast grocery chain Stop amp Shop and its parent company Ahold already uses fuel cells at three of

its grocery stores to generate power onsite two in New York ndash Peekskill (200‐kW Bloom Energy Server

installed in 2015) and Mt Vernon (250‐kW Bloom Energy Server installed in 2014) and a store in

Torrington Connecticut (400‐kW Doosan Fuel Cell America system installed in 2011)

The company also operates gas stations at several of its retail sites and has agreed to host a hydrogen

refueling pump at its Mansfield Massachusetts grocery store The proposed hydrogen station is one of

12 hydrogen stations in development by Toyota and Air Liquide to support the expansion of fuel cell

vehicles into the northeast US and recently received permit approval by the townrsquos zoning board21

The hydrogen supplied by Air Liquide will be produced off‐site and delivered to the station which is

anticipated to be operable in 201722

Retail Shopping

Retail chains are taking advantage of fuel cells for power for their stores and material handling

equipment (MHE) in their warehouses Two of the leading fuel cell customers Home Depot and

Walmart have more than 200 stores and 3500 forklifts utilizing fuel cells collectively

Onsite fuel cells can provide primary power backup power and combined heat and power (CHP) to retail

sites and warehouses Since the systems can operate independently from the power grid they can

supply power without disruption due to grid failure or blackouts The fuel cellrsquos excess heat can also be

captured to provide hot water or space heating increasing the fuel cellrsquos efficiency

The benefits of converting material handling fleets to fuel cells are many outlined in the introduction as

well as in previous reports For the retail sector the main advantage of using fuel cells for MHE could

arguably be the elimination of battery storage changing and charging areas allowing that space to be

regained and utilized to hold more products

Grocers Food amp Logistics

From supermarkets to the companies that provide the goods to stock them fuel cells are becoming a

lsquogreenlightrsquo special in the grocery food and beverage industry

Fuel cells can provide uninterrupted power even when the grid is down while helping grocery stores

and food packaging facilities reduce overall emissions The heat fuel cells generate as a byproduct can

be used for space heating hot water or run through an absorption chiller for air conditioning or

refrigeration providing increased efficiency for stores that have to keep food cold or fresh

Fuel cell‐powered forklifts are currently in operation at logistics facilities distribution centers and

grocery warehouses around the country replacing incumbent battery‐powered and combustion vehicles

due to their advantages of longer runtime faster refueling higher efficiency and constant power

especially in freezers and cold storage facilites

According to the US Department of Energy there are about 3 million data centers in the United States

consuming 100 billion kWh of electricity a year and comprising more than 2 of all US electricity use87

Ongoing strong growth in the data center market could strain existing grid resources and impact power

reliability with power outages costing data centers over $7000 per minute and more than half a million

dollars per occurrence88

Fuel cells can help to mitigate this problem Financial services companies and banks are trusting fuel

cells to generate high quality reliable power for data centers and mission critical applications Resilient

onsite fuel cells are able to provide assured power at a high efficiency helping meet sustainability goals

while ensuring financial transactions and operations will continue regardless of circumstances

Reliability is critical to healthcare facilities to keep hospitals and treatment facilities up and running and

protecting life‐saving vaccines research and above all patients Onsite fuel cell power generation keeps

essential services operating even when other sites lack power

In addition to onsite power supply fuel cells can provide additional benefits A fuel cellrsquos byproduct

heat can be recovered for use in facility heating provision of hot water and when run through an

absorption chiller for facility cooling

Fuel cells also provide a bonus in a hospital setting since they operate quietly producing about

60‐70 decibels of sound (the typical level of a conversation) allowing patients to heal without the

intrusion of unwanted noise

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Walmart

stores This builds on Walmartrsquos 2015 fuel cell installations which include a total 1 MW of fuel cell

Bloom Energy fuel cell server at a Walmart retail site

Walmart has a goal to be supplied 100 by

renewable energy The companyrsquos efforts to

meet this goal include the use of fuel cells both

for onsite power generation and power for

forklifts operating in the companyrsquos distribution

centers

In 2016 alone Walmart installed 48 MW of

Bloom Energy fuel cells to provide onsite power

generation at seventeen of its California retail

power generation in California (five retail stores) 400 kW in Connecticut (two retail stores) and a

250‐kW fuel cell system supplying power at a New Jersey store

In total Walmart has installed fuel cells at more than 60 of its retail sites in California Connecticut and

New Jersey to provide 40‐60 of the electricity needed by these facilities16 17 When grid power goes

down these fuel cells are capable of supplying power to keep a storersquos

refrigeration equipment lighting and cash registers in operation preventing

food spoilage and allowing a store to continue serving customers during

weather‐related and other outages18 Walmart also reports that its fuel cells

supply energy at prices lower than the cost of energy from local utilities19

Walmart also uses Plug Power GenDrive fuel cells to power to forklifts at

19 of its North American distribution centers including locations in Illinois

Indiana Minnesota New York Ohio Pennsylvania Texas and in Alberta and

Ontario Canada In aggregate the company operates more than 3000 fuel

cell‐powered forklifts at its sites along with the hydrogen fueling

infrastructure to support these deployments

Walmart states in its 2016 Global Sustainability Report that it is committed to

expanding its development of off‐ and onsite power from fuel cells solar wind and other technologies

in an effort to meet its goal of procuring 7 billion kWh of renewable energy generation by the end of

202020

Stop amp Shop

Northeast grocery chain Stop amp Shop and its parent company Ahold already uses fuel cells at three of

its grocery stores to generate power onsite two in New York ndash Peekskill (200‐kW Bloom Energy Server

installed in 2015) and Mt Vernon (250‐kW Bloom Energy Server installed in 2014) and a store in

Torrington Connecticut (400‐kW Doosan Fuel Cell America system installed in 2011)

The company also operates gas stations at several of its retail sites and has agreed to host a hydrogen

refueling pump at its Mansfield Massachusetts grocery store The proposed hydrogen station is one of

12 hydrogen stations in development by Toyota and Air Liquide to support the expansion of fuel cell

vehicles into the northeast US and recently received permit approval by the townrsquos zoning board21

The hydrogen supplied by Air Liquide will be produced off‐site and delivered to the station which is

anticipated to be operable in 201722

Retail Shopping

Retail chains are taking advantage of fuel cells for power for their stores and material handling

equipment (MHE) in their warehouses Two of the leading fuel cell customers Home Depot and

Walmart have more than 200 stores and 3500 forklifts utilizing fuel cells collectively

Onsite fuel cells can provide primary power backup power and combined heat and power (CHP) to retail

sites and warehouses Since the systems can operate independently from the power grid they can

supply power without disruption due to grid failure or blackouts The fuel cellrsquos excess heat can also be

captured to provide hot water or space heating increasing the fuel cellrsquos efficiency

The benefits of converting material handling fleets to fuel cells are many outlined in the introduction as

well as in previous reports For the retail sector the main advantage of using fuel cells for MHE could

arguably be the elimination of battery storage changing and charging areas allowing that space to be

regained and utilized to hold more products

Grocers Food amp Logistics

From supermarkets to the companies that provide the goods to stock them fuel cells are becoming a

lsquogreenlightrsquo special in the grocery food and beverage industry

Fuel cells can provide uninterrupted power even when the grid is down while helping grocery stores

and food packaging facilities reduce overall emissions The heat fuel cells generate as a byproduct can

be used for space heating hot water or run through an absorption chiller for air conditioning or

refrigeration providing increased efficiency for stores that have to keep food cold or fresh

Fuel cell‐powered forklifts are currently in operation at logistics facilities distribution centers and

grocery warehouses around the country replacing incumbent battery‐powered and combustion vehicles

due to their advantages of longer runtime faster refueling higher efficiency and constant power

especially in freezers and cold storage facilites

Healthcare amp Biotechnology

Reliability is critical to healthcare facilities to keep hospitals and treatment facilities up and running and

protecting life‐saving vaccines research and above all patients Onsite fuel cell power generation keeps

essential services operating even when other sites lack power

In addition to onsite power supply fuel cells can provide additional benefits A fuel cellrsquos byproduct

heat can be recovered for use in facility heating provision of hot water and when run through an

absorption chiller for facility cooling

Fuel cells also provide a bonus in a hospital setting since they operate quietly producing about

60‐70 decibels of sound (the typical level of a conversation) allowing patients to heal without the

intrusion of unwanted noise

Like corporations healthcare and biotech companies use fuel cells to generate power at their corporate

and research campuses Fuel cells are helping both hospitals and biotech facilities meet emission

reduction goals while saving on energy and water costs

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Retail Shopping

Retail chains are taking advantage of fuel cells for power for their stores and material handling

equipment (MHE) in their warehouses Two of the leading fuel cell customers Home Depot and

Walmart have more than 200 stores and 3500 forklifts utilizing fuel cells collectively

Onsite fuel cells can provide primary power backup power and combined heat and power (CHP) to retail

sites and warehouses Since the systems can operate independently from the power grid they can

supply power without disruption due to grid failure or blackouts The fuel cellrsquos excess heat can also be

captured to provide hot water or space heating increasing the fuel cellrsquos efficiency

The benefits of converting material handling fleets to fuel cells are many outlined in the introduction as

well as in previous reports For the retail sector the main advantage of using fuel cells for MHE could

arguably be the elimination of battery storage changing and charging areas allowing that space to be

regained and utilized to hold more products

Grocers Food amp Logistics

From supermarkets to the companies that provide the goods to stock them fuel cells are becoming a

lsquogreenlightrsquo special in the grocery food and beverage industry

Fuel cells can provide uninterrupted power even when the grid is down while helping grocery stores

and food packaging facilities reduce overall emissions The heat fuel cells generate as a byproduct can

be used for space heating hot water or run through an absorption chiller for air conditioning or

refrigeration providing increased efficiency for stores that have to keep food cold or fresh

Fuel cell‐powered forklifts are currently in operation at logistics facilities distribution centers and

grocery warehouses around the country replacing incumbent battery‐powered and combustion vehicles

due to their advantages of longer runtime faster refueling higher efficiency and constant power

especially in freezers and cold storage facilites

global transactions They are also installing fuel cells at headquarters to keep daily operations running

smoothly while reducing emissions

Telecommunications companies have deployed fuel cells all at sites across the world to ensure consitent

primary or backup power for a range ofsystems that require reliable on‐site direct DC power supply

The reasons are many ndash for backup power fuel cells provide a better total cost of ownership are clean

and quiet fuel flexible and boast longer runtimes than batteries They also use less space and are

lighter than batteries or generators so are able to be sited on rooftops and are rugged and durable

allowing for siting off the beaten path in rural and remote areas

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

power‐to‐gas applications

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Retail Shopping

Retail chains are taking advantage of fuel cells for power for their stores and material handling

equipment (MHE) in their warehouses Two of the leading fuel cell customers Home Depot and

Walmart have more than 200 stores and 3500 forklifts utilizing fuel cells collectively

Onsite fuel cells can provide primary power backup power and combined heat and power (CHP) to retail

sites and warehouses Since the systems can operate independently from the power grid they can

supply power without disruption due to grid failure or blackouts The fuel cellrsquos excess heat can also be

captured to provide hot water or space heating increasing the fuel cellrsquos efficiency

The benefits of converting material handling fleets to fuel cells are many outlined in the introduction as

well as in previous reports For the retail sector the main advantage of using fuel cells for MHE could

arguably be the elimination of battery storage changing and charging areas allowing that space to be

regained and utilized to hold more products

Technology amp Telecommunications

The technology companies customers rely on daily are in turn relying on fuel cells to provide

uninterrupted power to the data and call centers that protect private information and process countless

global transactions They are also installing fuel cells at headquarters to keep daily operations running

smoothly while reducing emissions

Telecommunications companies have deployed fuel cells all at sites across the world to ensure consitent

primary or backup power for a range ofsystems that require reliable on‐site direct DC power supply

The reasons are many ndash for backup power fuel cells provide a better total cost of ownership are clean

and quiet fuel flexible and boast longer runtimes than batteries They also use less space and are

lighter than batteries or generators so are able to be sited on rooftops and are rugged and durable

allowing for siting off the beaten path in rural and remote areas

Hotels

Hotels were among the first businesses to try out fuel cells implementing early demonstration units

more than two decades ago beginning in 1992 when a Hyatt Hotel used a demonstration 200‐kW

Doosan Fuel Cell America fuel cell to meet 20 of the hotels power needs with waste heat from the

process used to heat water for guests and for the laundry

Since that time hotels located in California New Jersey New York and Washington have utilized fuel

cells including Double Tree Inn Sheraton Westin Hilton and the Mohegan Sun Casino and Hotel

After more than a decade these early fuel cells are no longer in operation But in late 2015 Hyatt

added a Bloom Energy fuel cell to its energy portfolio to supply onsite power and reduce carbon

emissions

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

power‐to‐gas applications

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Grocers Food amp Logistics

From supermarkets to the companies that provide the goods to stock them fuel cells are becoming a

lsquogreenlightrsquo special in the grocery food and beverage industry

Fuel cells can provide uninterrupted power even when the grid is down while helping grocery stores

and food packaging facilities reduce overall emissions The heat fuel cells generate as a byproduct can

be used for space heating hot water or run through an absorption chiller for air conditioning or

refrigeration providing increased efficiency for stores that have to keep food cold or fresh

Fuel cell‐powered forklifts are currently in operation at logistics facilities distribution centers and

grocery warehouses around the country replacing incumbent battery‐powered and combustion vehicles

due to their advantages of longer runtime faster refueling higher efficiency and constant power

especially in freezers and cold storage facilites

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Grocers Food amp Logistics

From supermarkets to the companies that provide the goods to stock them fuel cells are becoming a

lsquogreenlightrsquo special in the grocery food and beverage industry

Fuel cells can provide uninterrupted power even when the grid is down while helping grocery stores

and food packaging facilities reduce overall emissions The heat fuel cells generate as a byproduct can

be used for space heating hot water or run through an absorption chiller for air conditioning or

refrigeration providing increased efficiency for stores that have to keep food cold or fresh

Fuel cell‐powered forklifts are currently in operation at logistics facilities distribution centers and

grocery warehouses around the country replacing incumbent battery‐powered and combustion vehicles

due to their advantages of longer runtime faster refueling higher efficiency and constant power

especially in freezers and cold storage facilites

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Grocers Food amp Logistics

From supermarkets to the companies that provide the goods to stock them fuel cells are becoming a

lsquogreenlightrsquo special in the grocery food and beverage industry

Fuel cells can provide uninterrupted power even when the grid is down while helping grocery stores

and food packaging facilities reduce overall emissions The heat fuel cells generate as a byproduct can

be used for space heating hot water or run through an absorption chiller for air conditioning or

refrigeration providing increased efficiency for stores that have to keep food cold or fresh

Fuel cell‐powered forklifts are currently in operation at logistics facilities distribution centers and

grocery warehouses around the country replacing incumbent battery‐powered and combustion vehicles

due to their advantages of longer runtime faster refueling higher efficiency and constant power

especially in freezers and cold storage facilites

The technology companies customers rely on daily are in turn relying on fuel cells to provide

uninterrupted power to the data and call centers that protect private information and process countless

global transactions They are also installing fuel cells at headquarters to keep daily operations running

smoothly while reducing emissions

Telecommunications companies have deployed fuel cells all at sites across the world to ensure consitent

primary or backup power for a range ofsystems that require reliable on‐site direct DC power supply

The reasons are many ndash for backup power fuel cells provide a better total cost of ownership are clean

and quiet fuel flexible and boast longer runtimes than batteries They also use less space and are

lighter than batteries or generators so are able to be sited on rooftops and are rugged and durable

allowing for siting off the beaten path in rural and remote areas

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

power‐to‐gas applications

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Grocers Food amp Logistics

From supermarkets to the companies that provide the goods to stock them fuel cells are becoming a

lsquogreenlightrsquo special in the grocery food and beverage industry

Fuel cells can provide uninterrupted power even when the grid is down while helping grocery stores

and food packaging facilities reduce overall emissions The heat fuel cells generate as a byproduct can

be used for space heating hot water or run through an absorption chiller for air conditioning or

refrigeration providing increased efficiency for stores that have to keep food cold or fresh

Fuel cell‐powered forklifts are currently in operation at logistics facilities distribution centers and

grocery warehouses around the country replacing incumbent battery‐powered and combustion vehicles

due to their advantages of longer runtime faster refueling higher efficiency and constant power

especially in freezers and cold storage facilites

Healthcare amp Biotechnology

Reliability is critical to healthcare facilities to keep hospitals and treatment facilities up and running and

protecting life‐saving vaccines research and above all patients Onsite fuel cell power generation keeps

essential services operating even when other sites lack power

In addition to onsite power supply fuel cells can provide additional benefits A fuel cellrsquos byproduct

heat can be recovered for use in facility heating provision of hot water and when run through an

absorption chiller for facility cooling

Fuel cells also provide a bonus in a hospital setting since they operate quietly producing about

60‐70 decibels of sound (the typical level of a conversation) allowing patients to heal without the

intrusion of unwanted noise

Like corporations healthcare and biotech companies use fuel cells to generate power at their corporate

and research campuses Fuel cells are helping both hospitals and biotech facilities meet emission

reduction goals while saving on energy and water costs

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Technology amp Telecommunications

The technology companies customers rely on daily are in turn relying on fuel cells to provide

uninterrupted power to the data and call centers that protect private information and process countless

global transactions They are also installing fuel cells at headquarters to keep daily operations running

smoothly while reducing emissions

Telecommunications companies have deployed fuel cells all at sites across the world to ensure consitent

primary or backup power for a range ofsystems that require reliable on‐site direct DC power supply

The reasons are many ndash for backup power fuel cells provide a better total cost of ownership are clean

and quiet fuel flexible and boast longer runtimes than batteries They also use less space and are

lighter than batteries or generators so are able to be sited on rooftops and are rugged and durable

allowing for siting off the beaten path in rural and remote areas

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

power‐to‐gas applications

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

smoothly while reducing emissions

Telecommunications companies have deployed fuel cells all at sites across the world to ensure consitent

primary or backup power for a range ofsystems that require reliable on‐site direct DC power supply

The reasons are many ndash for backup power fuel cells provide a better total cost of ownership are clean

and quiet fuel flexible and boast longer runtimes than batteries They also use less space and are

lighter than batteries or generators so are able to be sited on rooftops and are rugged and durable

allowing for siting off the beaten path in rural and remote areas

In addition to onsite power supply fuel cells can provide additional benefits A fuel cellrsquos byproduct

heat can be recovered for use in facility heating provision of hot water and when run through an

absorption chiller for facility cooling

Fuel cells also provide a bonus in a hospital setting since they operate quietly producing about

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

The technology companies customers rely on daily are in turn relying on fuel cells to provide

uninterrupted power to the data and call centers that protect private information and process countless

global transactions They are also installing fuel cells at headquarters to keep daily operations running

smoothly while reducing emissions

Telecommunications companies have deployed fuel cells all at sites across the world to ensure consitent

primary or backup power for a range ofsystems that require reliable on‐site direct DC power supply

The reasons are many ndash for backup power fuel cells provide a better total cost of ownership are clean

and quiet fuel flexible and boast longer runtimes than batteries They also use less space and are

lighter than batteries or generators so are able to be sited on rooftops and are rugged and durable

allowing for siting off the beaten path in rural and remote areas

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Technology amp Telecommunications

The technology companies customers rely on daily are in turn relying on fuel cells to provide

uninterrupted power to the data and call centers that protect private information and process countless

global transactions They are also installing fuel cells at headquarters to keep daily operations running

smoothly while reducing emissions

Telecommunications companies have deployed fuel cells all at sites across the world to ensure consitent

primary or backup power for a range ofsystems that require reliable on‐site direct DC power supply

The reasons are many ndash for backup power fuel cells provide a better total cost of ownership are clean

and quiet fuel flexible and boast longer runtimes than batteries They also use less space and are

lighter than batteries or generators so are able to be sited on rooftops and are rugged and durable

allowing for siting off the beaten path in rural and remote areas

Hotels

Hotels were among the first businesses to try out fuel cells implementing early demonstration units

more than two decades ago beginning in 1992 when a Hyatt Hotel used a demonstration 200‐kW

Doosan Fuel Cell America fuel cell to meet 20 of the hotels power needs with waste heat from the

process used to heat water for guests and for the laundry

Since that time hotels located in California New Jersey New York and Washington have utilized fuel

cells including Double Tree Inn Sheraton Westin Hilton and the Mohegan Sun Casino and Hotel

After more than a decade these early fuel cells are no longer in operation But in late 2015 Hyatt

added a Bloom Energy fuel cell to its energy portfolio to supply onsite power and reduce carbon

emissions

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

power‐to‐gas applications

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

global transactions They are also installing fuel cells at headquarters to keep daily operations running

smoothly while reducing emissions

Telecommunications companies have deployed fuel cells all at sites across the world to ensure consitent

primary or backup power for a range ofsystems that require reliable on‐site direct DC power supply

The reasons are many ndash for backup power fuel cells provide a better total cost of ownership are clean

and quiet fuel flexible and boast longer runtimes than batteries They also use less space and are

lighter than batteries or generators so are able to be sited on rooftops and are rugged and durable

allowing for siting off the beaten path in rural and remote areas

Healthcare amp Biotechnology

Reliability is critical to healthcare facilities to keep hospitals and treatment facilities up and running and

protecting life‐saving vaccines research and above all patients Onsite fuel cell power generation keeps

essential services operating even when other sites lack power

In addition to onsite power supply fuel cells can provide additional benefits A fuel cellrsquos byproduct

heat can be recovered for use in facility heating provision of hot water and when run through an

absorption chiller for facility cooling

Fuel cells also provide a bonus in a hospital setting since they operate quietly producing about

60‐70 decibels of sound (the typical level of a conversation) allowing patients to heal without the

intrusion of unwanted noise

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Technology amp Telecommunications

The technology companies customers rely on daily are in turn relying on fuel cells to provide

uninterrupted power to the data and call centers that protect private information and process countless

global transactions They are also installing fuel cells at headquarters to keep daily operations running

smoothly while reducing emissions

Telecommunications companies have deployed fuel cells all at sites across the world to ensure consitent

primary or backup power for a range ofsystems that require reliable on‐site direct DC power supply

The reasons are many ndash for backup power fuel cells provide a better total cost of ownership are clean

and quiet fuel flexible and boast longer runtimes than batteries They also use less space and are

lighter than batteries or generators so are able to be sited on rooftops and are rugged and durable

allowing for siting off the beaten path in rural and remote areas

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

power‐to‐gas applications

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Spotlight on Super Bowl 50

As featured in the State of the States Fuel Cells in America 2016 report Super Bowl 50 held in Santa

Clara California showcased sustainability by having fuel cells play a big role in lighting the streets and

stages of Super Bowl City

Fuel cells also helped the Sonoma Wine Lounge and Market Street Bistro in Super Bowl City keep fans

fed and happy for nine days leading up to the main event Luxfer‐GTM provided its Zero‐Set mobile

fuel cell generators using renewably‐generated hydrogen sourced from the Stone Edge Farm wineryrsquos

micro‐grid

It was quite exciting to be able to build our clean energy initiatives around Super Bowl City with the help of Luxfer‐GTM and the Zero Emission Generators With the addition of this technology we were able to power SBC 100 away from dirty diesel We had over a million guests in the 9‐day course of our event and many of them were pleased to learn about hydrogen fuel cell generators and see them in action on a large scale event It was exciting for us and for the community who came to enjoy Super Bowl City

Technology amp Telecommunications

The technology companies customers rely on daily are in turn relying on fuel cells to provide

uninterrupted power to the data and call centers that protect private information and process countless

global transactions They are also installing fuel cells at headquarters to keep daily operations running

smoothly while reducing emissions

Telecommunications companies have deployed fuel cells all at sites across the world to ensure consitent

primary or backup power for a range ofsystems that require reliable on‐site direct DC power supply

The reasons are many ndash for backup power fuel cells provide a better total cost of ownership are clean

and quiet fuel flexible and boast longer runtimes than batteries They also use less space and are

lighter than batteries or generators so are able to be sited on rooftops and are rugged and durable

allowing for siting off the beaten path in rural and remote areas

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

power‐to‐gas applications

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

The technology companies customers rely on daily are in turn relying on fuel cells to provide

uninterrupted power to the data and call centers that protect private information and process countless

global transactions They are also installing fuel cells at headquarters to keep daily operations running

smoothly while reducing emissions

Telecommunications companies have deployed fuel cells all at sites across the world to ensure consitent

primary or backup power for a range ofsystems that require reliable on‐site direct DC power supply

The reasons are many ndash for backup power fuel cells provide a better total cost of ownership are clean

and quiet fuel flexible and boast longer runtimes than batteries They also use less space and are

lighter than batteries or generators so are able to be sited on rooftops and are rugged and durable

allowing for siting off the beaten path in rural and remote areas

Hotels

Hotels were among the first businesses to try out fuel cells implementing early demonstration units

more than two decades ago beginning in 1992 when a Hyatt Hotel used a demonstration 200‐kW

Doosan Fuel Cell America fuel cell to meet 20 of the hotels power needs with waste heat from the

process used to heat water for guests and for the laundry

Since that time hotels located in California New Jersey New York and Washington have utilized fuel

cells including Double Tree Inn Sheraton Westin Hilton and the Mohegan Sun Casino and Hotel

After more than a decade these early fuel cells are no longer in operation But in late 2015 Hyatt

added a Bloom Energy fuel cell to its energy portfolio to supply onsite power and reduce carbon

emissions

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

power‐to‐gas applications

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Technology amp Telecommunications

The technology companies customers rely on daily are in turn relying on fuel cells to provide

uninterrupted power to the data and call centers that protect private information and process countless

global transactions They are also installing fuel cells at headquarters to keep daily operations running

smoothly while reducing emissions

Telecommunications companies have deployed fuel cells all at sites across the world to ensure consitent

primary or backup power for a range ofsystems that require reliable on‐site direct DC power supply

The reasons are many ndash for backup power fuel cells provide a better total cost of ownership are clean

and quiet fuel flexible and boast longer runtimes than batteries They also use less space and are

lighter than batteries or generators so are able to be sited on rooftops and are rugged and durable

allowing for siting off the beaten path in rural and remote areas

Hotels

Hotels were among the first businesses to try out fuel cells implementing early demonstration units

more than two decades ago beginning in 1992 when a Hyatt Hotel used a demonstration 200‐kW

Doosan Fuel Cell America fuel cell to meet 20 of the hotels power needs with waste heat from the

process used to heat water for guests and for the laundry

Since that time hotels located in California New Jersey New York and Washington have utilized fuel

cells including Double Tree Inn Sheraton Westin Hilton and the Mohegan Sun Casino and Hotel

After more than a decade these early fuel cells are no longer in operation But in late 2015 Hyatt

added a Bloom Energy fuel cell to its energy portfolio to supply onsite power and reduce carbon

emissions

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

power‐to‐gas applications

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Technology amp Telecommunications

The technology companies customers rely on daily are in turn relying on fuel cells to provide

uninterrupted power to the data and call centers that protect private information and process countless

global transactions They are also installing fuel cells at headquarters to keep daily operations running

smoothly while reducing emissions

Telecommunications companies have deployed fuel cells all at sites across the world to ensure consitent

primary or backup power for a range ofsystems that require reliable on‐site direct DC power supply

The reasons are many ndash for backup power fuel cells provide a better total cost of ownership are clean

and quiet fuel flexible and boast longer runtimes than batteries They also use less space and are

lighter than batteries or generators so are able to be sited on rooftops and are rugged and durable

allowing for siting off the beaten path in rural and remote areas

Hotels

Hotels were among the first businesses to try out fuel cells implementing early demonstration units

more than two decades ago beginning in 1992 when a Hyatt Hotel used a demonstration 200‐kW

Doosan Fuel Cell America fuel cell to meet 20 of the hotels power needs with waste heat from the

process used to heat water for guests and for the laundry

Since that time hotels located in California New Jersey New York and Washington have utilized fuel

cells including Double Tree Inn Sheraton Westin Hilton and the Mohegan Sun Casino and Hotel

After more than a decade these early fuel cells are no longer in operation But in late 2015 Hyatt

added a Bloom Energy fuel cell to its energy portfolio to supply onsite power and reduce carbon

emissions

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

power‐to‐gas applications

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Technology amp Telecommunications

The technology companies customers rely on daily are in turn relying on fuel cells to provide

uninterrupted power to the data and call centers that protect private information and process countless

global transactions They are also installing fuel cells at headquarters to keep daily operations running

smoothly while reducing emissions

Telecommunications companies have deployed fuel cells all at sites across the world to ensure consitent

primary or backup power for a range ofsystems that require reliable on‐site direct DC power supply

The reasons are many ndash for backup power fuel cells provide a better total cost of ownership are clean

and quiet fuel flexible and boast longer runtimes than batteries They also use less space and are

lighter than batteries or generators so are able to be sited on rooftops and are rugged and durable

allowing for siting off the beaten path in rural and remote areas

Hotels

Hotels were among the first businesses to try out fuel cells implementing early demonstration units

more than two decades ago beginning in 1992 when a Hyatt Hotel used a demonstration 200‐kW

Doosan Fuel Cell America fuel cell to meet 20 of the hotels power needs with waste heat from the

process used to heat water for guests and for the laundry

Since that time hotels located in California New Jersey New York and Washington have utilized fuel

cells including Double Tree Inn Sheraton Westin Hilton and the Mohegan Sun Casino and Hotel

After more than a decade these early fuel cells are no longer in operation But in late 2015 Hyatt

added a Bloom Energy fuel cell to its energy portfolio to supply onsite power and reduce carbon

emissions

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

power‐to‐gas applications

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Technology amp Telecommunications

The technology companies customers rely on daily are in turn relying on fuel cells to provide

uninterrupted power to the data and call centers that protect private information and process countless

global transactions They are also installing fuel cells at headquarters to keep daily operations running

smoothly while reducing emissions

Telecommunications companies have deployed fuel cells all at sites across the world to ensure consitent

primary or backup power for a range ofsystems that require reliable on‐site direct DC power supply

The reasons are many ndash for backup power fuel cells provide a better total cost of ownership are clean

and quiet fuel flexible and boast longer runtimes than batteries They also use less space and are

lighter than batteries or generators so are able to be sited on rooftops and are rugged and durable

allowing for siting off the beaten path in rural and remote areas

Transportation

Major automakers are investing in fuel cells and today customers in California and other parts of the

world are able to buy or lease fuel cell vehicles from several with more entering the marketplace by the

end of this year and next These car manufacturers are also using fuel cells to help move the parts to

build many other vehicles with fuel cell‐powered forklifts operating in automotive manufacturing plants

around the country This began more than ten years ago in 2005 with General Motors (GM) testing

19 forklifts powered by Hydrogenics fuel cells at its Oshawa Canada car assembly plant

Today BMW Honda Mercedes‐Benz and Volkswagen all use fuel cell‐powered forklifts at assembly and

manufacturing facilities This transportation section also covers logistics and delivery companies

railroads and features a spotlight on a company utilizing fuel cell‐powered mobile lighting to help repair

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

power‐to‐gas applications

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

power‐to‐gas applications

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

According to the US Department of Energy there are about 3 million data centers in the United States

consuming 100 billion kWh of electricity a year and comprising more than 2 of all US electricity use87

Ongoing strong growth in the data center market could strain existing grid resources and impact power

reliability with power outages costing data centers over $7000 per minute and more than half a million

dollars per occurrence88

Fuel cells can help to mitigate this problem Financial services companies and banks are trusting fuel

cells to generate high quality reliable power for data centers and mission critical applications Resilient

onsite fuel cells are able to provide assured power at a high efficiency helping meet sustainability goals

while ensuring financial transactions and operations will continue regardless of circumstances

Reliability is critical to healthcare facilities to keep hospitals and treatment facilities up and running and

protecting life‐saving vaccines research and above all patients Onsite fuel cell power generation keeps

essential services operating even when other sites lack power

In addition to onsite power supply fuel cells can provide additional benefits A fuel cellrsquos byproduct

heat can be recovered for use in facility heating provision of hot water and when run through an

absorption chiller for facility cooling

Fuel cells also provide a bonus in a hospital setting since they operate quietly producing about

60‐70 decibels of sound (the typical level of a conversation) allowing patients to heal without the

intrusion of unwanted noise

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Healthcare amp Biotechnology

Reliability is critical to healthcare facilities to keep hospitals and treatment facilities up and running and

protecting life‐saving vaccines research and above all patients Onsite fuel cell power generation keeps

essential services operating even when other sites lack power

In addition to onsite power supply fuel cells can provide additional benefits A fuel cellrsquos byproduct

heat can be recovered for use in facility heating provision of hot water and when run through an

absorption chiller for facility cooling

Fuel cells also provide a bonus in a hospital setting since they operate quietly producing about

60‐70 decibels of sound (the typical level of a conversation) allowing patients to heal without the

intrusion of unwanted noise

Like corporations healthcare and biotech companies use fuel cells to generate power at their corporate

and research campuses Fuel cells are helping both hospitals and biotech facilities meet emission

reduction goals while saving on energy and water costs

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Healthcare amp Biotechnology

Reliability is critical to healthcare facilities to keep hospitals and treatment facilities up and running and

protecting life‐saving vaccines research and above all patients Onsite fuel cell power generation keeps

essential services operating even when other sites lack power

In addition to onsite power supply fuel cells can provide additional benefits A fuel cellrsquos byproduct

heat can be recovered for use in facility heating provision of hot water and when run through an

absorption chiller for facility cooling

Fuel cells also provide a bonus in a hospital setting since they operate quietly producing about

60‐70 decibels of sound (the typical level of a conversation) allowing patients to heal without the

intrusion of unwanted noise

Like corporations healthcare and biotech companies use fuel cells to generate power at their corporate

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Healthcare amp Biotechnology

Reliability is critical to healthcare facilities to keep hospitals and treatment facilities up and running and

protecting life‐saving vaccines research and above all patients Onsite fuel cell power generation keeps

essential services operating even when other sites lack power

In addition to onsite power supply fuel cells can provide additional benefits A fuel cellrsquos byproduct

heat can be recovered for use in facility heating provision of hot water and when run through an

absorption chiller for facility cooling

Fuel cells also provide a bonus in a hospital setting since they operate quietly producing about

60‐70 decibels of sound (the typical level of a conversation) allowing patients to heal without the

intrusion of unwanted noise

Like corporations healthcare and biotech companies use fuel cells to generate power at their corporate

Hotels

Hotels were among the first businesses to try out fuel cells implementing early demonstration units

more than two decades ago beginning in 1992 when a Hyatt Hotel used a demonstration 200‐kW

Doosan Fuel Cell America fuel cell to meet 20 of the hotels power needs with waste heat from the

process used to heat water for guests and for the laundry

Since that time hotels located in California New Jersey New York and Washington have utilized fuel

cells including Double Tree Inn Sheraton Westin Hilton and the Mohegan Sun Casino and Hotel

After more than a decade these early fuel cells are no longer in operation But in late 2015 Hyatt

added a Bloom Energy fuel cell to its energy portfolio to supply onsite power and reduce carbon

emissions

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

power‐to‐gas applications

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Reliability is critical to healthcare facilities to keep hospitals and treatment facilities up and running and

protecting life‐saving vaccines research and above all patients Onsite fuel cell power generation keeps

essential services operating even when other sites lack power

In addition to onsite power supply fuel cells can provide additional benefits A fuel cellrsquos byproduct

heat can be recovered for use in facility heating provision of hot water and when run through an

absorption chiller for facility cooling

Fuel cells also provide a bonus in a hospital setting since they operate quietly producing about

60‐70 decibels of sound (the typical level of a conversation) allowing patients to heal without the

intrusion of unwanted noise

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

power‐to‐gas applications

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Healthcare amp Biotechnology

Reliability is critical to healthcare facilities to keep hospitals and treatment facilities up and running and

protecting life‐saving vaccines research and above all patients Onsite fuel cell power generation keeps

essential services operating even when other sites lack power

In addition to onsite power supply fuel cells can provide additional benefits A fuel cellrsquos byproduct

heat can be recovered for use in facility heating provision of hot water and when run through an

absorption chiller for facility cooling

Fuel cells also provide a bonus in a hospital setting since they operate quietly producing about

60‐70 decibels of sound (the typical level of a conversation) allowing patients to heal without the

intrusion of unwanted noise

Like corporations healthcare and biotech companies use fuel cells to generate power at their corporate

and research campuses Fuel cells are helping both hospitals and biotech facilities meet emission

reduction goals while saving on energy and water costs

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Healthcare amp Biotechnology

Reliability is critical to healthcare facilities to keep hospitals and treatment facilities up and running and

protecting life‐saving vaccines research and above all patients Onsite fuel cell power generation keeps

essential services operating even when other sites lack power

In addition to onsite power supply fuel cells can provide additional benefits A fuel cellrsquos byproduct

heat can be recovered for use in facility heating provision of hot water and when run through an

absorption chiller for facility cooling

Fuel cells also provide a bonus in a hospital setting since they operate quietly producing about

60‐70 decibels of sound (the typical level of a conversation) allowing patients to heal without the

intrusion of unwanted noise

Like corporations healthcare and biotech companies use fuel cells to generate power at their corporate

Hotels

Hotels were among the first businesses to try out fuel cells implementing early demonstration units

more than two decades ago beginning in 1992 when a Hyatt Hotel used a demonstration 200‐kW

Doosan Fuel Cell America fuel cell to meet 20 of the hotels power needs with waste heat from the

process used to heat water for guests and for the laundry

Since that time hotels located in California New Jersey New York and Washington have utilized fuel

cells including Double Tree Inn Sheraton Westin Hilton and the Mohegan Sun Casino and Hotel

After more than a decade these early fuel cells are no longer in operation But in late 2015 Hyatt

added a Bloom Energy fuel cell to its energy portfolio to supply onsite power and reduce carbon

emissions

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

power‐to‐gas applications

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

According to the US Department of Energy there are about 3 million data centers in the United States

consuming 100 billion kWh of electricity a year and comprising more than 2 of all US electricity use87

Ongoing strong growth in the data center market could strain existing grid resources and impact power

reliability with power outages costing data centers over $7000 per minute and more than half a million

dollars per occurrence88

Fuel cells can help to mitigate this problem Financial services companies and banks are trusting fuel

cells to generate high quality reliable power for data centers and mission critical applications Resilient

onsite fuel cells are able to provide assured power at a high efficiency helping meet sustainability goals

while ensuring financial transactions and operations will continue regardless of circumstances

Healthcare amp Biotechnology

Reliability is critical to healthcare facilities to keep hospitals and treatment facilities up and running and

protecting life‐saving vaccines research and above all patients Onsite fuel cell power generation keeps

essential services operating even when other sites lack power

In addition to onsite power supply fuel cells can provide additional benefits A fuel cellrsquos byproduct

heat can be recovered for use in facility heating provision of hot water and when run through an

absorption chiller for facility cooling

Fuel cells also provide a bonus in a hospital setting since they operate quietly producing about

60‐70 decibels of sound (the typical level of a conversation) allowing patients to heal without the

intrusion of unwanted noise

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Financial Services

According to the US Department of Energy there are about 3 million data centers in the United States

consuming 100 billion kWh of electricity a year and comprising more than 2 of all US electricity use87

Ongoing strong growth in the data center market could strain existing grid resources and impact power

reliability with power outages costing data centers over $7000 per minute and more than half a million

dollars per occurrence88

Fuel cells can help to mitigate this problem Financial services companies and banks are trusting fuel

cells to generate high quality reliable power for data centers and mission critical applications Resilient

onsite fuel cells are able to provide assured power at a high efficiency helping meet sustainability goals

while ensuring financial transactions and operations will continue regardless of circumstances

Healthcare amp Biotechnology

Reliability is critical to healthcare facilities to keep hospitals and treatment facilities up and running and

protecting life‐saving vaccines research and above all patients Onsite fuel cell power generation keeps

essential services operating even when other sites lack power

In addition to onsite power supply fuel cells can provide additional benefits A fuel cellrsquos byproduct

heat can be recovered for use in facility heating provision of hot water and when run through an

absorption chiller for facility cooling

Fuel cells also provide a bonus in a hospital setting since they operate quietly producing about

60‐70 decibels of sound (the typical level of a conversation) allowing patients to heal without the

intrusion of unwanted noise

Like corporations healthcare and biotech companies use fuel cells to generate power at their corporate

and research campuses Fuel cells are helping both hospitals and biotech facilities meet emission

reduction goals while saving on energy and water costs

Hotels

Hotels were among the first businesses to try out fuel cells implementing early demonstration units

more than two decades ago beginning in 1992 when a Hyatt Hotel used a demonstration 200‐kW

Doosan Fuel Cell America fuel cell to meet 20 of the hotels power needs with waste heat from the

process used to heat water for guests and for the laundry

Since that time hotels located in California New Jersey New York and Washington have utilized fuel

cells including Double Tree Inn Sheraton Westin Hilton and the Mohegan Sun Casino and Hotel

After more than a decade these early fuel cells are no longer in operation But in late 2015 Hyatt

added a Bloom Energy fuel cell to its energy portfolio to supply onsite power and reduce carbon

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

power‐to‐gas applications

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

BACKGROUND

First National Bank of Omaha was the first US company to use

fuel cell technology as its primary power source The Doosan Fuel Cell

America system was installed in 1999 to provide primary power to the

bankrsquos Omaha Nebraska data center In its first 10 years of operation

the fuel cell provided 89000 hours of operation and reduced heating

bills by more than $1 million Availability of the fuel cell system

exceeded 999999

In 2013 First National Bank of Omaha replaced its first fuel cell which

provided power to its data center for 14 years with a new 400‐kW

Doosan Fuel Cell America fuel cell system

Since fuel cells are scalable to multi‐megawatt sized units the technology is showing up in larger

facilities like shopping centers office parks and towers and multi‐use retailresidential buildings as

well as the data centers corporate campuses sports arenas and warehouses described above These

fuel cells keep the buildings up and running by providing power and heat even when bad weather hits

and do so while lowering carbon emissions and providing energy cost savings

Healthcare amp Biotechnology

Reliability is critical to healthcare facilities to keep hospitals and treatment facilities up and running and

protecting life‐saving vaccines research and above all patients Onsite fuel cell power generation keeps

essential services operating even when other sites lack power

In addition to onsite power supply fuel cells can provide additional benefits A fuel cellrsquos byproduct

heat can be recovered for use in facility heating provision of hot water and when run through an

absorption chiller for facility cooling

Fuel cells also provide a bonus in a hospital setting since they operate quietly producing about

60‐70 decibels of sound (the typical level of a conversation) allowing patients to heal without the

intrusion of unwanted noise

Like corporations healthcare and biotech companies use fuel cells to generate power at their corporate

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Since fuel cells are scalable to multi‐megawatt sized units the technology is showing up in larger

facilities like shopping centers office parks and towers and multi‐use retailresidential buildings as

well as the data centers corporate campuses sports arenas and warehouses described above These

fuel cells keep the buildings up and running by providing power and heat even when bad weather hits

and do so while lowering carbon emissions and providing energy cost savings

Healthcare amp Biotechnology

Reliability is critical to healthcare facilities to keep hospitals and treatment facilities up and running and

protecting life‐saving vaccines research and above all patients Onsite fuel cell power generation keeps

essential services operating even when other sites lack power

In addition to onsite power supply fuel cells can provide additional benefits A fuel cellrsquos byproduct

heat can be recovered for use in facility heating provision of hot water and when run through an

absorption chiller for facility cooling

Fuel cells also provide a bonus in a hospital setting since they operate quietly producing about

60‐70 decibels of sound (the typical level of a conversation) allowing patients to heal without the

intrusion of unwanted noise

Like corporations healthcare and biotech companies use fuel cells to generate power at their corporate

and research campuses Fuel cells are helping both hospitals and biotech facilities meet emission

reduction goals while saving on energy and water costs

Transportation

Major automakers are investing in fuel cells and today customers in California and other parts of the

world are able to buy or lease fuel cell vehicles from several with more entering the marketplace by the

end of this year and next These car manufacturers are also using fuel cells to help move the parts to

build many other vehicles with fuel cell‐powered forklifts operating in automotive manufacturing plants

around the country This began more than ten years ago in 2005 with General Motors (GM) testing

19 forklifts powered by Hydrogenics fuel cells at its Oshawa Canada car assembly plant

Today BMW Honda Mercedes‐Benz and Volkswagen all use fuel cell‐powered forklifts at assembly and

manufacturing facilities This transportation section also covers logistics and delivery companies

railroads and features a spotlight on a company utilizing fuel cell‐powered mobile lighting to help repair

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

power‐to‐gas applications

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Healthcare amp Biotechnology

Reliability is critical to healthcare facilities to keep hospitals and treatment facilities up and running and

protecting life‐saving vaccines research and above all patients Onsite fuel cell power generation keeps

essential services operating even when other sites lack power

In addition to onsite power supply fuel cells can provide additional benefits A fuel cellrsquos byproduct

heat can be recovered for use in facility heating provision of hot water and when run through an

absorption chiller for facility cooling

Fuel cells also provide a bonus in a hospital setting since they operate quietly producing about

60‐70 decibels of sound (the typical level of a conversation) allowing patients to heal without the

intrusion of unwanted noise

Like corporations healthcare and biotech companies use fuel cells to generate power at their corporate

and research campuses Fuel cells are helping both hospitals and biotech facilities meet emission

reduction goals while saving on energy and water costs

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Healthcare amp Biotechnology

Reliability is critical to healthcare facilities to keep hospitals and treatment facilities up and running and

protecting life‐saving vaccines research and above all patients Onsite fuel cell power generation keeps

essential services operating even when other sites lack power

In addition to onsite power supply fuel cells can provide additional benefits A fuel cellrsquos byproduct

heat can be recovered for use in facility heating provision of hot water and when run through an

absorption chiller for facility cooling

Fuel cells also provide a bonus in a hospital setting since they operate quietly producing about

60‐70 decibels of sound (the typical level of a conversation) allowing patients to heal without the

intrusion of unwanted noise

Like corporations healthcare and biotech companies use fuel cells to generate power at their corporate

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Healthcare amp Biotechnology

Reliability is critical to healthcare facilities to keep hospitals and treatment facilities up and running and

protecting life‐saving vaccines research and above all patients Onsite fuel cell power generation keeps

essential services operating even when other sites lack power

In addition to onsite power supply fuel cells can provide additional benefits A fuel cellrsquos byproduct

heat can be recovered for use in facility heating provision of hot water and when run through an

absorption chiller for facility cooling

Fuel cells also provide a bonus in a hospital setting since they operate quietly producing about

60‐70 decibels of sound (the typical level of a conversation) allowing patients to heal without the

intrusion of unwanted noise

Like corporations healthcare and biotech companies use fuel cells to generate power at their corporate

and research campuses Fuel cells are helping both hospitals and biotech facilities meet emission

reduction goals while saving on energy and water costs

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

power‐to‐gas applications

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

power‐to‐gas applications

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

power‐to‐gas applications

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

power‐to‐gas applications

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Entertainment amp Sports

People love to be entertained and to cheer on their favorite team especially at live events When

power outages occur the cheering can quickly turn to boos In 2013 at Super Bowl XLVII in New

Orleans the Mercedes‐Benz Superdome went dark for 34 minutes110 leaving fans both in their seats in

the stadium and watching at home powerless

To avoid a repeat performance several stadiums and arenas in California have installed fuel cells to

make sure operations continue running despite any unforeseen outages Television movie and news

studios are also casting fuel cells to not only keep us entertained without interruption but in case of

emergency to provide power for up‐to‐the‐minute news alerts and public service announcements

Transportation

Major automakers are investing in fuel cells and today customers in California and other parts of the

world are able to buy or lease fuel cell vehicles from several with more entering the marketplace by the

end of this year and next These car manufacturers are also using fuel cells to help move the parts to

build many other vehicles with fuel cell‐powered forklifts operating in automotive manufacturing plants

around the country This began more than ten years ago in 2005 with General Motors (GM) testing

19 forklifts powered by Hydrogenics fuel cells at its Oshawa Canada car assembly plant

Today BMW Honda Mercedes‐Benz and Volkswagen all use fuel cell‐powered forklifts at assembly and

manufacturing facilities This transportation section also covers logistics and delivery companies

railroads and features a spotlight on a company utilizing fuel cell‐powered mobile lighting to help repair

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

power‐to‐gas applications

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

power‐to‐gas applications

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Hotels

Hotels were among the first businesses to try out fuel cells implementing early demonstration units

more than two decades ago beginning in 1992 when a Hyatt Hotel used a demonstration 200‐kW

Doosan Fuel Cell America fuel cell to meet 20 of the hotels power needs with waste heat from the

process used to heat water for guests and for the laundry

Since that time hotels located in California New Jersey New York and Washington have utilized fuel

cells including Double Tree Inn Sheraton Westin Hilton and the Mohegan Sun Casino and Hotel

After more than a decade these early fuel cells are no longer in operation But in late 2015 Hyatt

added a Bloom Energy fuel cell to its energy portfolio to supply onsite power and reduce carbon

emissions

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

power‐to‐gas applications

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Hotels

Hotels were among the first businesses to try out fuel cells implementing early demonstration units

more than two decades ago beginning in 1992 when a Hyatt Hotel used a demonstration 200‐kW

Doosan Fuel Cell America fuel cell to meet 20 of the hotels power needs with waste heat from the

process used to heat water for guests and for the laundry

Since that time hotels located in California New Jersey New York and Washington have utilized fuel

cells including Double Tree Inn Sheraton Westin Hilton and the Mohegan Sun Casino and Hotel

After more than a decade these early fuel cells are no longer in operation But in late 2015 Hyatt

added a Bloom Energy fuel cell to its energy portfolio to supply onsite power and reduce carbon

emissions

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

power‐to‐gas applications

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Hotels

Hotels were among the first businesses to try out fuel cells implementing early demonstration units

more than two decades ago beginning in 1992 when a Hyatt Hotel used a demonstration 200‐kW

Doosan Fuel Cell America fuel cell to meet 20 of the hotels power needs with waste heat from the

process used to heat water for guests and for the laundry

Since that time hotels located in California New Jersey New York and Washington have utilized fuel

cells including Double Tree Inn Sheraton Westin Hilton and the Mohegan Sun Casino and Hotel

After more than a decade these early fuel cells are no longer in operation But in late 2015 Hyatt

added a Bloom Energy fuel cell to its energy portfolio to supply onsite power and reduce carbon

emissions

Transportation

Major automakers are investing in fuel cells and today customers in California and other parts of the

world are able to buy or lease fuel cell vehicles from several with more entering the marketplace by the

end of this year and next These car manufacturers are also using fuel cells to help move the parts to

build many other vehicles with fuel cell‐powered forklifts operating in automotive manufacturing plants

around the country This began more than ten years ago in 2005 with General Motors (GM) testing

19 forklifts powered by Hydrogenics fuel cells at its Oshawa Canada car assembly plant

Today BMW Honda Mercedes‐Benz and Volkswagen all use fuel cell‐powered forklifts at assembly and

manufacturing facilities This transportation section also covers logistics and delivery companies

railroads and features a spotlight on a company utilizing fuel cell‐powered mobile lighting to help repair

crews fix the ferry dock at Alcatraz Island

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

power‐to‐gas applications

~15000 homes Dominion sells the output of the fuel cell power

station to Eversource under a 15‐year power purchase agreement

Exelon through its Constellation business unit is working with

Bloom Energy to install fuel cells at 170 customer sites in California

and Connecticut

Southern California Edison (SCE) installed a 14‐MW FuelCell

Energy system in 2013 to provide power and heat at the University of

Top Dominion Power fuel cell California San Bernardino

power park in Connecticut Southern Company and its subsidiary PowerSecure announced a

Bottom SCE fuel cell plant at strategic alliance with Bloom Energy PowerSecure will acquire

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Transportation

Major automakers are investing in fuel cells and today customers in California and other parts of the

world are able to buy or lease fuel cell vehicles from several with more entering the marketplace by the

end of this year and next These car manufacturers are also using fuel cells to help move the parts to

build many other vehicles with fuel cell‐powered forklifts operating in automotive manufacturing plants

around the country This began more than ten years ago in 2005 with General Motors (GM) testing

19 forklifts powered by Hydrogenics fuel cells at its Oshawa Canada car assembly plant

Today BMW Honda Mercedes‐Benz and Volkswagen all use fuel cell‐powered forklifts at assembly and

manufacturing facilities This transportation section also covers logistics and delivery companies

railroads and features a spotlight on a company utilizing fuel cell‐powered mobile lighting to help repair

crews fix the ferry dock at Alcatraz Island

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

power‐to‐gas applications

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

power‐to‐gas applications

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Top Plug Power fuel cell

system at a CSX site

BACKGROUND

BNSF Railroad uses Plug Power fuel cells for backup power in a

number of their PTC (positive train control) and telecommunications

networks in several states BNSF also deployed Altergy Freedom

Power fuel for its PTC networks as well as switching and automated

maintenance systems

CSX uses Plug Power fuel cells at 200+ locations to provide backup

power to a network of sensors and communications equipment

throughout the CSX rail system

Honda operates 51 Plug Power fuel cell‐powered forklifts and has

two hydrogen dispensers to support them at its largest manufacturing

facility (4 million square feet) located in Marysville Ohio Honda also

installed 1 MW of Bloom Energy fuel cell systems at its distribution

center in Torrance California

Mercedes‐Benz US International has more than 200 Plug

Power GenDrive fuel cell‐powered forklifts operating at its Tuscaloosa

Alabama campus The automaker first deployed 72 fuel cell units in

2012 for its vehicle assembly plant and purchased an additional

123 more for its logistics hub in 2013

Union Pacific Railroad replaced generators with Altergy Freedom

Power fuel cells for greater reliability and safety at their railroad

network sites

Bottom Bloom Energy

fuel cells at American

Honda

The US Postal Service has installed two Nuverareg hydrogen

generators plus associated compression storage and dispensing

equipment at a Capitol Heights Maryland Washington Network

Distribution Center to supply fuel for its Plug Power fuel cell‐powered

industrial vehicles

United Parcel Service (UPS) is working with partners including

fuel cell manufacturer Hydrogenics on a DOE‐funded project to

develop a fuel cell hybrid electric walk‐in delivery van with a 150‐mile

range per fueling The team will then retrofit 17 UPS delivery vans to

test at distribution facilities across California

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

power‐to‐gas applications

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

Lighting up Alcatraz Cruises

Luxfer‐GTM Technologies Zero‐Set Lite a portable hydrogen fuel cell‐powered light tower that uses fuel cells from Plug Power provided critical working light for an overnight barge exchange operation at Alcatraz Island National Park in San Francisco California The operation was part of a planned maintenance period for the Islands embarkation dock which serves approximately 5000 visitors per day and was undertaken by Alcatraz Cruises official National Park Service concessioner for ferry service to Alcatraz Island

The Zero‐Set Lite was transported by boat across the San Francisco Bay and hoisted by crane onto the Island in order to support the operation While Alcatraz Cruises crew and subcontractors worked throughout the night in inclement weather the light tower consistently provided bright clean and quiet lighting allowing crews to see and hear each other clearly in the challenging working conditions

Until now it has just been a given that if you needed portable light and power you were also going to get lots of noise and diesel fumes ‐ and what we found is that thats just not true anymore The hydrogen fuel cell light tower did a great job of lighting up the work area and it also made it possible to have a normal conversation in the area with no noise or fumes The light tower also follows the time‐honored maritime KISS principle which stands for Keep It Simple Sailor in that you can power the unit on and off with the simple push of a button and there is zero chance of a fuel spillrdquo

Utilities

Electric utility companies are turning to fuel cells which can be scaled in size from watts to multi‐

megawatts to generate power for a variety of applications

Electricity utilities are using to fuel cells to generate power for the electric grid with fuel cell

systems scaled up to 30 MW in size The worldrsquos largest a 59 MW fuel cell power plant in Korea

could be eclipsed by another planned project in Connecticut that could deliver 63 MW of fuel

cell power to the electric grid

In the northeast US fuel cells are being selected for micro grid projects to increase power

reliability and resilience through storms

Utilities also use fuel cells as a backup power supply for radio and supervisory control and data

acquisition (SCADA) equipment power for a natural gas let‐down facility and electricity for

customer sites

In addition fuel cells and hydrogen are attracting attention for their potential use in energy storage and

power‐to‐gas applications

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

200‐kW Bloom Energy fuel cell

system to provide power at its

headquarters facility in

Springfield Virginia since 2011

In September 2016 Washington

Gas reported that it has exceeded

its carbon reduction goals four

years ahead of schedule ndash and the

fuel cell system played a key role

in this reduction126

Utilities

BACKGROUND

Con Edison is constructing a microgrid at the Marcus Garvey

Apartments in Brooklyn New York The project includes 400 kW of

Additional rooftop solar battery storage and a 400‐kW Bloom Energy fuel cell

Companies Delmarva Power operates 30 MW of Bloom Energy Servers in

Newark Delaware to provide power to the utility grid

Dominion Power installed a 149‐MW FuelCell Energy power plant

in Bridgeport Connecticut in 2013 enough power to supply

~15000 homes Dominion sells the output of the fuel cell power

station to Eversource under a 15‐year power purchase agreement

Exelon through its Constellation business unit is working with

Bloom Energy to install fuel cells at 170 customer sites in California

and Connecticut

Southern California Edison (SCE) installed a 14‐MW FuelCell

Energy system in 2013 to provide power and heat at the University of

Top Dominion Power fuel cell California San Bernardino

power park in Connecticut Southern Company and its subsidiary PowerSecure announced a

Bottom SCE fuel cell plant at strategic alliance with Bloom Energy PowerSecure will acquire

the University of California ~50 MW of Bloom Energy Servers under long‐term power purchase San Bernardino agreements with commercial and industrial customers and will

integrate Bloomrsquos Energy Server fuel cell platform with PowerSecurersquos

smart storage solutions Separately Southern Companyrsquos subsidiary

Alabama Power is working with FuelCell Energy and ExxonMobil to

test a novel fuel cell carbon capture technology

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

The Growing Business Case for Fuel Cells

Today fuel cells are contributing to environmental stewardship and helping corporations achieve

strategic emissions reduction goals and commitments Current markets include primary or backup

power to facilities or off‐grid sites and power supply for MHE Versatile fuel cells are also beginning to

move into other commercial applications

Oil and gas companies have started using fuel cells to power off‐grid equipment railroads have chosen

fuel cells to supply backup power to rail‐side equipment fuel cells are supplying temporary lighting for

events and soldiers use fuel cells to power equipment in the field Fuel cell vehicles now available from

several major automakers in early global markets are already operating in taxi and car service fleets in

Europe and in 2017 the first fuel cell‐powered train will debut in Germany

Several companies are also participating in public‐private projects to demonstrate the feasibility and

benefits of fuel cells in new applications such as power for refrigerated containers at port docks (Young

Brothers and Sandia National Laboratories) power for airport ground support equipment (FedEx and the

Department of Energy) power for aircraft when taxiing (Airbus and the German Aerospace Agency) and

as range extenders for battery‐powered parcel delivery trucks (FedEx and the Department of Energy)

It is not an overstatement to say that fuel cells have a lot of potential Stay tuned to the next report for

further innovations and for more insight and testimonials on the growing business case for fuel cells
